The Ghana Weightlifting Federation (GWF) are in dilemma about Ghana’s participation in the African Weightlifting Olympic qualifiers that is scheduled to take place on 6 May 2016 in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Ghana is struggling to gain qualification to the upcoming Rio Olympics that is a few months away, with only two athletes having already qualified for the competition.
President of GWF, Ben Nunoo Mensah told sportscrusader.com that “as at now we have submitted a budget for seven athletes and three officials to the Ministry of Youth and Sports and we are hoping adequate arrangement would be made to prevent any damaging occurrences”.
Mr Mensah also emphasized that six athletes are in camp with the exception Christopher Osei who is based in the United Kingdom.
“All the athletes are preparing vigorously for the upcoming qualifiers, the Ghana Olympic Committee has promised to give out tickets to the contingent, so for us, everything is set and we are ready to make Ghana proud,” Mr Mensah said.
