thumb|Baboloki Thebe Baboloki Tirelo Thebe (born 18 March 1997) is a Botswana track and field sprinter who specialises in the 400 metres. Quotes Last year I was injured, so my coach told me to train for the 400m. I started training for the 400m and in my first race, I ran 45 seconds. For now, my favourite event is 400m because I’m running a good time. This year is only the 400m. I was training for that time so I am happy for it,I think 43.8-43.9 would be okay, I think in time I can go for it. I think we are going to do a good time and do a PB so I think we are aiming for our best time for the national team [2:59.95]. I don’t know about a medal. We just want to improve our time; a medal would be a bonus. Bydgoszcz a big stepping stone on Thebe's road to Rio,July 18 2016 I am not going to Bydgoszcz just to fill the lane, I am going there to compete, and my intention is to clock a very good time and ultimately win a medal for the country. I am happy I managed to clock a good time in Durban, my intention there was to gauge my fitness and check my endurance, I must say I am in a very good shape, and I guess God will guide me during the race. Coach upbeat ahead of Bydgoszcz,July 26 2016 It was a long plan. I have long wanted to go since December but due to Covid and personal challenges there were some delays but I eventually I managed. I am getting assistance from BAA and as we speak, we are still communicating in covering for all my expenses of which things are going accordingly and everything is fine. I haven’t received any communication from BAA with regards that they are not happy with me moving, so I don’t have much to say on that one. Those are going to be the races that I am going to use to qualify for the Olympic. My plan is for those races to be the one I use to qualify for the Olympics. I moved to Ivory Coast to focus more. I felt like I couldn’t focus more as much as I wanted to. I will say I am psychologically and emotionally fit. Everything is fine. ‘Troubled’ Olympic hopeful Baboloki Thebe chases the Holy Grail (April 11 2021) External links Category:Living people Category:1997 births Category:Track and field athletes Category:Sportspeople from Botswana
