You know in sports anything can happen, we did well at the African Games but the African Games is not close to the Olympics, because the Olympics is an assembly of the best in the world. The Olympics is really difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re able to do well and\u00a0bring a medal home, that would be a plus for the individual athletes, but I can\u2019t promise you of a medal in the Olympics, I can only say we\u2019re going to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 Paris Olympics is slated for August this year, and Team Ghana will officially parade nine (9) contingents for the track and field events. The current African High Jumper, Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah, would represent Ghana in the High Jump category while Abdul Rashid Samini participates in the men\u2019s 200 meters competition.<\/p>\n<p>The 4\u00d7100 meters men relay team will be represented by Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah,\u00a0Edwin Gadayi, Isaac Botsio and Fuseini Ibrahim. Only two contingents will be competing for Ghana in both male and female swimming or aquatic competitions. In the male category, Harry Stacey will represent Ghana and, according to the 2024 world aquatic standings, Harry is the current highest-ranked male swimmer in Ghana. He secured a qualification with an entry time of 50.67 seconds at the Africa Aquatics Championships in Angola. In the female aquatic category, Joselle Mensah will be representing, and per the World aquatic table, Joselle is the current best-ranked female swimmer in Ghana. She also gained qualification to the Olympics during the 13th African Games with an entry time of 26.52 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about preparation and readiness, Ben Nunoo Mensah further stated on <strong><em>SportsXtra<\/em><\/strong> that Ghana Olympics is struggling to clear sports equipment at the port because government hasn\u2019t given them the clearance yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation has not changed, our equipment are still stacked at the port. We\u2019ve purchased and shipped all the equipment, we\u2019ve paid for the purchasing but we\u2019re yet to clear them at the port, but I\u2019m working hard with the authorities so that we can clear the equipment, and I can assure you that they will be cleared soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As the track and field events get underway in Paris from August 1-11, with the 100m event on Saturday, August 3, 2024, Ghanaians can only hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Francis Agbetsise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Nunoo Mensah \u00a0 The President of the Ghana Olympics Committee, Ben Nunoo Mensah, has expressed concern about the readiness of Team Ghana ahead of\u00a0the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
