The strive for success

The insufficiency of man, makes me like OLIVER TWIST always wanting for more.
I have had my GREAT FALLS like HUMPTY DUMPTY ,
but unlike him I GOT UP TO PUT MYSELF TOGETHER.
No man is perfect, I might be accused for soo many wrong doing,
but just like MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI, i will always stand up for the TRUTH.

Hope For A Better Tomorrow

Yet another Poor display from TEAM GHANA ( Ghanaian Contingents) at the London 2012 Olympics. And the Question one can ask is that; "Are these the finest athletes Ghana has?" or "Was our presence at the London Olympics just a waste of time and money?"

History

Ghana first competed at the Helsinki 1952 Olympic Games under the name Gold Coast.Summary of Olympic and Paralympic Games Appearances.

A Better Tomorrow

Surely the is hope for a better tomorrow even though i can't tell you the time range exactly but it would be soon. But hoping it would be in time for the All African games in 2015. The 2015 All-Africa Games to be beheld in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo.Ghanaian s' would love to see a very youthful (from as low as even 17 years if possible) Athletic squad being taken. Instead of the old and fading out athletes like Aziz Zakari, Vida Anim and Ignatius Gaisah . That would be the first step in preparing the Upcoming Athletes for bigger challenges in Life (Olympics, IAAF & etc).


Micheal Owusu-Peprah A future Olympic Medalist for Ghana100 meters and 200 meters athlete. Ghana's fastest under 20 athlete.Training very Hard to lift the flag of Ghana high in years to come. He runs below in the 10sec range  (NB: below 11 seconds)at his age.

He is just one out of the many unknown Ghanaian Athletes working very hard to make it, through determination and hard work. In September 2011 Modern Ghana article on him : http://www.modernghana.com/sports/352524/2/michael-owusu-peprah-is-back-from-germany.html
