The Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) has dampened its medal expectations at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The BNOC previously set a target of four medals but this has now been lowered to three in response to the disruption caused by the global health crisis, according to a report by
Mmegi Online.
Many sporting events across the world have been impacted by COVID-19, with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games notably postponed to 2021 following the outbreak of the virus.
Moses Moruisi, first vice-president of the BNOC, said Botswana’s preparations had also been hit by the pandemic.
