Speaking on Ghana’s campaign in Paris, the Ghana Athletics CEO highlighted how disappointed the contingent was after getting disqualified from the Men’s 4×100 Relays.
“It was bitter sweet for all of us. They boys were happy, they were hyped, they were ready to go but sometimes, with relays, you just cannot predict. The relay is unpredictable, it doesn’t matter how many times you work at it.”
“We did everything we could and I know that Ghanaians are disappointed but I will tell you that they cannot be disappointed than those boys; that was their platform. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen the way we planned it. They are upset, they are hurt, they feel the pain of Ghanaians because they are also Ghanaians.”
