Tshepiso Masalela broke Botswana’s national record in the men’s 1500m, clocking 3:32.55 at the Orlen Copernicus Cup.
However, despite the historic time, Masalela was later disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct after making aggressive gestures towards Azeddine Habz.
As a result, Habz was awarded the victory with a time of 3:32.56.
