\"GADO\"Ibrahim Gado Nuhu scooped Ghana\u2019s only gold medal in the world cadet event<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Africa Youth, Junior and Cadet Championship climaxes this Saturday at the Trust Sports Emporium in Accra with the hosts failing to win a medal.<\/p>\n

As far as the medal haul is concerned, it could be said to a disappointing competition for Ghana\u2019s young talents who showed a lot of promise but were outclassed by their opponents, with Nigeria and Egypt looking strongest among participating teams.<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s Emmanuel Ofori failed to carry the team to the next stage of the U-21 (Youth) team event after losing 1-3 to Egypt.<\/p>\n

There was high expectations among Ghanaian fans that the continental competition would be as successful as the world junior and cadet competition the preceding week where 13-year-old prodigy, Ibrahim Gado Nuhu scooped Ghana\u2019s only gold medal in the world cadet event.<\/p>\n

This week, fellow youngsters Solomon Danso, Judith Acheampong, Belinda Dei-Sam Augustina Baidoo and Augustine Baidoo all fell short of advancing to the next stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

Today, as singles finals for Under-21 boys and U-21 girls singles, as well as singles finals for Under-18 boys and U-18 girls are staged, Nigeria\u2019s Aziz Solanke and Egypt\u2019s Mahmoud Helmy will take centre stage as they clash in the gold medal match for the boys\u2019 Under 21 singles.<\/p>\n

A major highlight for the host was when promising star Emmanuel Ofori beat Egyptian Omar Gamal 3-0 in the Under-21 team event but Ghana eventually lost 3-1 overall.<\/p>\n

The Egypt Under-21 team, which have some of their players playing in leagues in Europe, were the talk of the competition and their progress in the competition came as little surprise.<\/p>\n

It has been a show for the continent\u2019s next generation of stars with nearly 100 players showcasing their talent in the sport and putting table tennis on the front burner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
