medals in the men and women 1500m and
3000m races.
A budding talent that has to be looked out is
Janet Amponsah who has qualified to
represent Ghana at the World Athletics
Junior Championship in Spain. She
represented Ghana at the 13th IAAF World
Junior Championships in Moncton,
Canada, participating in the
200m (24.86s). Later that year
with 24.37s in Abuja she took a
bronze medal in the 200m final of
the Maiden Edition of the
ECOWAS Games
In 2010, she ran with a time of
11.94s at the Commonwealth
Games; she also ran the last leg
of the 4x100m women's relay and
was able to snatch a 2nd place
(from India, the host team) for a
precious silver medal (45.24s)
The amateur boxing team, the
Black Bombers also managed to
secure four tickets for the
Olympics following a rather daunting
qualifier in Casablanca, Morocco with
inadequate preparations as usual.
Sulemanu Tetteh - Light Fly (49Kg), Duke
Akuetteh Micah - Fly (52Kg), Isaac Kojo
Dogboe - Bantam (56Kg) Maxwell
Amponsah - Heavy (91Kg) will
represent Ghana on the canvas at the
Olympics in London later this year.
Athletics, judo, taekwondo, boxing will
surely give Ghana some hope with
medals after the rather short
preparations and we here at
NEIGHBOURHOOD GONG wish
the team and athletes the best of
luck and Godspeed at the event.
