'Bring home two medals'

BOTESSA expects the athletics team to bring home a minimum of two medals. Last week Friday, BOTESSA held a sending off ceremony for the athletics team that is expected to represent Botswana at an international stage at the FISU games.

FISU games are known as the World University Games. The games comprise 18 different sporting codes with Botswana only sending the athletics team. Meanwhile the team is only made of 10 athletes; five females and five males from different institutions across the country. During the sending off ceremony, team captain Frecky Tshotego from New Era revealed that BOTESSA is not demanding too much from them. “We have been given a task to bring two or more medals from the games and we believe that this is something achievable,” Tshotego expressed.
