Ghana’s 4×100 relay team have appealed to the government to give them adequate resources to be able to fully prepare for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The team led by Joseph Paul Amoah qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after finishing 1st in Heat 2 in the second round of the World Relay Competition in Bahamas on Sunday, May 5, 204.
The team after the qualification said they need more to be able to prepare adequately for the Games because most of their competitors camped for about two weeks before the event in Bahamas but they had only a day to train after arriving on Thursday, May 2, 2024.
“We want money,” the young Ibrahim Fuseini said, while Benjamin Azamati added, “The other countries, Denmark, Great Britain, and the others, had two weeks of camping in Florida prior to these games. But we only arrived here on Thursday, and we were supposed to run on Saturday, meaning we only had one day to train, and these are the guys we compete with.”
“So, we need that much ample time to prepare and face these countries, and of course, it comes with money,” Azamati told Joy Sports.
Joseph Paul Amoah re-echoed the team’s desire, saying, “We need ample time and resources.”
