2024 Olympic Games: Dan Kwaku Yeboah tips Ghana to qualify for final of men's 4x100m race

Ace sports broadcaster Dan Kwaku Yeboah has opined that Ghana’s representatives at the 2024 Olympic Games must not be criticized for their poor performances at the games.

In an interview with Starr FM, Kwaku Yeboah defended the athletes, observing that they are victims of the country’s failure to make proper investments in sports.

According to him, while the country has enough talent to win at least five medals in every Olympic Games, the lack of investment has crippled the country’s chances in the Olympic Games.

Kwaku Yeboah, however, believes that Ghana’s men’s relay team should be able to make it to the final of the event.

He explained that the 4x100m relay event has always been an area of strength for Ghana and that he expects some good performances from Ghana’s quartet.

“I would love the country to do well in the 4x100m relay event. That has been our strength all this while. It is the one event in athletics that we’ve always done well, so I expect that we should at least get to the final.

“I don’t care much about the rest because we need to invest first before getting the results at the Olympic Games, and we are not doing it,” he said.

Kwaku Yeboah also provided an interesting insight into how race influences his decision to support or not to support an athlete or a country.

“It will shock you that when you get to America, there are black Americans who hate Africans and there are whites who love Africans, so I wouldn’t want to go on that tangent. I’m interested in those putting up good performances.

“As an African, I support those African countries that are doing well. The likes of Ethiopia and Kenya do well in the long-distance competitions, and I always love to see them up there,” he said.

The 4x100m relay event of the Paris Games is scheduled for Thursday, August 8, 2024.
