description: "Karabo Sibanda is a sprinter from Botswana specialising in the 400 metres. Originally a junior chess player, after he saw Usain Bolt competing at the 2012 London Olympic Games he got so inspired by his performance, that he decided to be an athlete. He won two medals at the 2016 African Championships as well as multiple age group medals. He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, finishing fifth in the 400 metres final as barely an 18 year old in a still personal best of 44.25."
