Two unforgettable days of pure relay magic at the #WorldRelays โจ
From the roar of the crowd to the energy inside the stadium, every race felt like a true celebration of speed, teamwork and history in the making ๐ฅ
See you in 2028, when the World Relays return to Nassau for the fifth time ๐ง๐ธ
Botswana not only filled the stadium out but have the most vibrant, responsive but also obedient (they quickly get quiet for the start) crowd Iโve ever seen!
Like the only crowd who I see that could challenge them is London!
Yeah Botswana you can host many more championships ๐ค๐ฟ
Watch Botswana ๐ง๐ผ win 4x400m GOLD at the World Relays in a new African Record & Championship Record of 2:54.47!!๐คฏ๐คฏ

I have covered many events across the world - but I haven't witnessed many frenzied stadiums like that of the Botswana National stadium, the moment Collen Kebinatshipi crossed the line in the men's 4x400m.
Personally for me, I think the kind of atmosphere that comes close to that, was when Morocco played Nigeria in the semifinals of AFCON 2025.
For Athletics, this is crazy! The stadium erupted in delirium when they won GOLD, and you have to be happy for them.
Africa can really host the World.
