Something I just learned: a picture that included #Lesotho's first Olympic athlete--the late Motsapi #Moorosi--traveled to space on NASA's Voyager missions in the late 1970s: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/golden-record/whats-on-the-record/images/?fbclid=IwAR0OBuvjg6mwSPJJ7chv-PtTb_m8Kg4wPSKwj4WL2RmxZOjCCJaQF_yDpQM
This is the image--from the heats of the 200 meters at the #Munich1972 Olympic Games ( #Lesotho's Moorosi is wearing #603 in the center of the frame--Mokorotlo on the singlet visible, too):
#Moorosi is also quoted in this 1972 Sports Illustrated piece talking about a possible boycott if apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia were allowed to compete. #Lesotho: https://vault.si.com/vault/1972/08/28/buzz-before-the-curtain
And another Moorosi picture (likely from those 1972 Munich Olympic Games) (via @KabiKolobe)
And some more Motsapi Moorosi pictures from the @OaBasotho archives (training with USA Olympic champion Mal Whitfield and another unidentified Mosotho runner)!
