## Competitors

[edit]

Botswana has sent competitors to every African Games since 1991. Amongst the competitors are multiple gold medal winners Amantle Montsho, Isaac Makwala and Kabelo Kgosiemang. Montsho was the country's first internationally successful athlete when she was announced World Champion in 400 metres in 2011 after winning two consecutive Games.[1] Kgosiemang broke the ground record with his jump of 2.27 metres (7 ft 5 in) in 2007, while his second gold medal came some 12 years later in 2015.[2][3]
