Relay team hunts elusive gold

The competition, which will be on Saturday and Sunday, is a crucial Olympic qualifier for the world’s top-performing athletes from more than 40 countries.

Botswana has sent three teams; the men’s 4x400m, which is ranked number seven, the 4x400m, mixed relay team ranked number 13, and the women’s 4x400m relay team which is at number 20. During the 2015 edition of the relays hosted in The Bahamas, the 4x400m men’s team finished in position eight and qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics, while in 2017, still in The Bahamas, the team scooped a silver medal.
