President of the Ghana Swimming Association, Theophilus Wilson Edzie has confirmed to Sportscrusader.com that Ghana will be represented in Rio in the discipline for the second time in 64 years.
This comes as great news to the country as we are struggling to make up athletes for the mega sporting event in Rio in August.
In an interview with Sportscrusader.com the President said, “the Universality Placement system at the 2016 Rio Olympics has favored us and we will take a minimum of two athletes to the competition, because of our participation at last year’s World Aquatics Championships in Russia”.
One of Ghana’s finest swimmers Abeiku Jackson will certainly be in Rio as he could even qualifier on merit as he currently holds the national record of 24.41 seconds 50 metres freestyle.
