Botsang Tshenyego has been re-elected President of the Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC).

Tshenyego saw off competition from Ookeditse Malesu and Tirelo Mukokomani to earn a second term in the top job.

Tshenyego received 14 votes, former Bostwana Softball Association President Mukokomani got six and Malesu - an ex-Botswana Football Association chief executive who lost to Tshenyego in 2017 and recently failed in a bid to become BFA President - only polled five votes.

Tshepo Sitale was elected senior vice-president, Mthandazo Michael Moroka fist vice-president and Boineelo Hardy second vice-president.

Yarona Sharp, Tebo Segaise and Unaswi Matebu were also voted onto the BNOC Board.

Voting took place during the BNOC's Quadrennial General Assembly in the capital Gaborone.

Botswana won a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to double its all-time medals haul.

Isaac Makwala, Baboloki Thebe, Zibani Ngozi and Bayapo Ndori ran 2min 57.27sec - an African record - to finish third in the men's 4x400 metres final.

BNOC chief Tshenyego is a colonel in the Botswana Defence Force.
