Collen Kebinatshipi became the first Botswana to win a world title at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, clocking a time of 43.53 in the 400 metres. The 21-year-old was also part of the team that beat the United States to win the men’s 4×400 meters, becoming the first African nation to win the event. This a year after Letsile Tebogo won individual Olympic gold in the 200 meters at Paris 2024. Kebinatshipi says the southern African country can dominate track speed for the next 10 years. Calistus Kolantsho tells Isaac Fanin and fellow athletics commentator Ed Harry that athletics is growing all the time among Batswanans and that the country’s success in recent years is based on a solid foundation built at the primary school level.
