#Amos offered P4.5 million for Olympic Silver Pledges to sell to the highest bidder
The country’s most famous piece of sporting memorabilia, Nigel Amos’ 2012 Olympic Silver medal, could soon be lost to Botswana forever.
A foreigner has reportedly offered the 27-year-old athlete a whopping P4.5 million in exchange for his historic medal – and the Marobela marvel is keen to cash in!
Currently in the care of the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC), Amos recently wrote to the organisation, demanding they return the medal he won in London so he can sell it.
The 800m runner, presently in camp with Team Botswana as the nation builds towards the Tokyo Olympics in August, plans to use the bulk of the proceeds to give back to the sport that made him.
