Olympics 2020

General Secretary of the Ghana Athletics Association, Bawa Fuseni is optimistic about the chances of more athletes securing this summer’s Olympic Games ticket.

Three Ghanaian athletes have already booked their tickets to the Games in Tokyo.

Bawa Fuseni has expressed massive confidence that number will increase in the coming weeks.
“We are expecting to qualify at least three more to the games,” he said.

”We expect Deborah Aquah to qualify for the women’s long jump, in addition to Hor Halutie and Janet Amponsah for the women’s 100 meters.

“So we have our eyes on these athletes, and if lucky, we will pick up two or three more tickets.

”Our men’s relay team is number 12 in the world while our women’s team is number 16. Although the top 15 will automatically qualify to the games, we still have to compete to better our times.”

The 2020 Summer Olympics will begin on Friday, 23 July 2021 and ends on Sunday, 8 August
