Ghana’s trailblazing skeleton Olympian, Akwasi Frimpong, has concluded the 2023/2024 World Cup season with a remarkable achievement, securing a historic 30th place ranking in the IBSF BMW World Cup Standings. This milestone marks the highest-ever performance by an African athlete in bobsleigh or skeleton on this esteemed platform.

Frimpong attributes his success to the invaluable guidance provided by Coach Matschenz and Coach Patrick Shannon, along with the support extended by the Chinese national skeleton team, who welcomed him this season. He extends heartfelt appreciation to his sponsors – On, Momentous, and Murdock Auto Team – for their steadfast support and encouragement throughout his journey.

With his sights firmly set on the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, Frimpong acknowledges the widespread support he has garnered from around the globe. He pledges to continue pushing boundaries and striving for excellence in his career. Coach Dirk’s reminder that he has only scratched the surface of his potential serves as fuel for Frimpong’s determination to attain even greater heights in the future.
