Leaname Maotoanong, a Motswana Olympic sprinter who competed in the 200 and 400 metres, died October 22, 2026, aged 35.
Born May 9, 1991, in Shoshong, Botswana, he represented his country at the 2016 Olympic Games. His events included two individual sprint distances, while the 4 × 400 metres placed him in a four-runner relay team.
At the 2015 Summer Universiade, Maotoanong won a silver medal. He also won gold with Botswana’s 4 × 400 metres relay team, which set a national record of 3:01.89. In the relay, four runners share the race, so the record was a team achievement alongside Maotoanong’s individual sprint results. His recorded career thus included Olympic participation, a Universiade medal and a national-record performance in international relay competition. The 200 and 400 metres featured his individual sprinting, while the relay brought his competition together with that of his Botswana teammates over the longer team event.
