In a triumphant display of athleticism, Ghanaian high jumper Rose Yeboah soared to victory in the women’s high jump event, adding another gold to Ghana’s tally at the African Games held in Accra. Competing at the University of Ghana Stadium, Yeboah thrilled the home crowd as she successfully defended her title with a remarkable leap of 1.90 meters. This achievement not only showcased her prowess but also marked an improvement from her previous best of 1.84 meters, attained five years prior.

Despite her stellar performance, Yeboah’s Olympic qualification quest remains ongoing. Despite her valiant efforts, including an attempt at the qualifying mark of 1.97 meters, she narrowly missed out on the mark, falling short by a mere 0.03 meters during her third attempt at 1.94 meters.

Yeboah’s gold medal-winning jump was followed by Balley Fatoumata of Guinea, who secured the silver medal with a jump of 1.81 meters, and Darina Hadil Rezik of Algeria, who clinched bronze with a jump of 1.78 meters.

With this latest triumph, Team Ghana’s gold medal count at the ongoing games stands at an impressive 10, contributing to the nation’s overall tally of 47 medals.
