Ghana’s Rio Olympic bound Bantamweight boxer, Abdul Wahid Omar, has heaped praise on the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) for assisting him to qualify for the multi-sport event.
Wahid qualified to the Olympic games through a scholarship programme and this in addition to GOCs able assistance during the qualifiers in Cameroon ensured the young boxer booked a place in the Olympic later this year.
The 22-year old in an interview with Sportscrusader.com mentioned that “the GOC has helped him especially financially to rise to the level he is today.”
“Yes indeed hard work pays but the resource to help to ensure the dream becomes a reality is equally vital and this I praise the GOC for what they did and continually do though it’s not their core duty,” he added.
