US, Jamaica stars absent, but the show rumbles on :: Mmegi Online

As the Debswana World Relays show rolls into action at the National Stadium tomorrow, top track stars from the United States of America (USA) and Jamaica will be missing. The two countries have some of the world's top rated relay teams, and in particular, the local fans were anticipating an exciting duel between Botswana and America's 4x400m men's relay teams.

Botswana's 4x400m team stunned the world at last year's World Championships in Japan, picking gold ahead of the United States. At the same competition, Busang Collen Kebinatshipi became the world 400m champion.

The hosts are favoured to defend their World Relays title which they won in Bahamas two years ago. In Bahamas, South Africa won silver whilst Belgium finished third as Kebinatshipi, Letsile Tebogo, Leungo Scotch, and Bayapo Ndori powered Botswana to gold.
