Delphina Quaye, the President of the Ghana Swimming Association, asserts that engaging in competitions against formidable opponents like South Africa, Egypt, and other top nations will significantly enhance the skills of Ghanaian swimmers for upcoming tournaments.
The recent success in swimming, particularly Abieku Jackson’s outstanding performance which secured two medals, is a source of immense pride for Quaye.
Speaking to Citi Sports, she expressed her satisfaction with the accomplishments attained at the 13th African Games, following the conclusion of the swimming events held at the Aquatic Center in Borteyman.
against South Africa, going against Egypt, going against Algeria, these people are masters in the game and for our kids to go to finals for every event that we participated in, I think they’ve done exceptionally well.They didn’t do too badly, fourth position, fifth position, out of age 16 people, I think they are on their way to becoming stars in the future.
Abeiku Jackson clinched two medals for Ghana in the swimming event, clinching silver in the men’s 50m butterfly final event and went on to add bronze in the Men’s 100m Butterfly.
He claimed the bronze, with South Africa’s Jarden Eaton placing 2nd while Egypt’s Abdalla Nasr secured the top spot.
