Captain of Ghana’s Table Tennis team, Bernard Joe Sam, has attributed his early exit at the African Games to a lack of preparation.
The Black Loopers captain suffered a round of 64 exit to Egypt’s Mohamed Shouman Mohamed on the opening day of the Table Tennis competition.
Joe Sam struggled to cope with the Egyptian’s rapid baseline shots, ultimately succumbing to a three-straight-set loss.
"Table tennis is a game that when you play most matches you gain more experience and the sharpness," he said in an interview with Joy Sports.
"Once you don't participate in most of the competition, you feel like your reflexes and other things you know are a bit low so that is why I lost."
Joe Sam and all members of the Black Looper’s team failed to make it past the round of 16 stage of the Table Tennis competition of the Accra 2023 African Games.
