Ghana sprinter Janet Amponsah says she is focused and not perturbed being the country’s sole representative at the IAAF Championships in Moscow, Russia.
Amponsah was entered by the Ghana Athletics Association before July 15 after qualifying as a wild card to participate in this year's games.
The young athlete who will compete in the women 200 meters event claims this won’t be her first time representing the country as the only athlete and therefore up for the challenge.
''This is not the first time I'm going to a competition as the only representative of the Ghana, I have experienced this so many times but I always try to do my best anytime I go so this thing about me being the only Ghanaian does not make me sad,'' she told Joy sports in an exclusive interview.
''I'm just going there to do my best for the country but I know it won't be easy.''
The 14th World Championships in Athletics is scheduled to be held in Moscow, Russia from 10–18 August 2013.
