Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Top performing codes Athletics: Track and field continue to raise the Botswana flag at international competitions. The inaugural FNB Botswana Golden Grand Prix featured international athletes, including current World champion Sha’Carri Richardson, six-time Olympic medallist Andre De Grasse, and Ferdinand Omanyala, amongst others.<\/b><\/p>\n

Local star Letsile Tebogo made history for Botswana and Africa by defeating De Grasse in the 200m, sweet revenge after finishing second in the men\u2019s 100m. Tebogo broke the men\u2019s 200m record, clocking 19.50 during the Budapest World Athletics Championships, becoming the first sprinter from Africa to win a medal (silver 100m and bronze 200m) at the World Athletics Championships. His outstanding performance earned him a Presidential Order of Meritorious Service award.<\/p>\n

Tennis: The association was exceptionally active this year, hosting six international tournaments and expanding tennis to new locations such as Gantsi and Kgalagadi. Recognised by the Confederation of Africa Tennis (CAT) for the best development programmes in Africa and by ITF for the best development programmes in Southern Africa, the code received accolades. Star players, Denzel Seetso secured a tennis scholarship in the USA, Ntungamili Raguin triumphed in the Africa Junior Championships, and Ekua Refilwe Youri continued to shine in Europe. Noteworthy players emerging this year include Mark Nawa, Seabo Saleshando, Esi Molefe, and Chelsea Chakanyuka. Tennis umpire Gaone Poane officiated at the Wimbledon and the French Open.<\/p>\n
