Concern as injuries pile

Amantle Victor-Nkape (Montsho) and Christine Botlogetswe also suffered injuries in Tokyo. Athletics coach, Justice Dipeba said Amos had a tight quad and the physiotherapists did all they could to manage it. “He thought it was not bad but I think we could see from the results that it affected him. We all know he could do way much better than he did.

It is very unfortunate but things like this do happen in sports,” athletics coach Justice Dipeba said. Mmegi Sport sought Masa Physiotherapy Clinic managing director, Aotlhe Kenny Boiteto's views on what makes local athletes susceptible to injuries. “It could mean bad management of injuries, which could be caused by insufficient clinicians, untimely treatment of injuries or lack of holistic treatment of injuries,” he said. He added the team has been working with a masseur (massage therapist) who is not able to access, give a diagnosis and treat injuries.
