Among the athletes, high jump gold medallists Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah and Evans Cadman Yamoah, along with Frederick Asante, Henry Horlali, and Dake Kabu, who demonstrated remarkable skills in basketball and won a silver medal for their outstanding teamwork, were singled out for praise.

In a statement released yesterday, GUSA extended congratulations to the entire Ghanaian team with special commendation to the GUSA members whose contributions played a pivotal role in elevating the nation’s sporting legacy.

“Over 90 per cent of the track and field athletes who represented our dear country Ghana were current and past GUSA members. There were also some GUSA members among the female football team that won the gold medal,” the statement read.

Acknowledging the technical expertise provided by GUSA, the statement emphasized the substantial contribution of GUSA-affiliated technical officials to the smooth conduct of the games.

The Ghanaian contingent’s unwavering determination, courage, and dedication were cited as key factors in their remarkable success, culminating in a total of sixty-nine medals.
