Ghana's Rose Yeboah has set her sights on winning a medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The high jumper left Ghana for Paris on Wednesday night for her maiden global showpiece.
Rose secured her qualification with an incredible 1.97m jump at the NCAA Championship in Eugene in June.
In an interview with JoySports’ Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo before her departure, she expressed optimism about improving and ultimately winning a medal at the Olympics.
"Qualifying for Olympics is such a great experience and I am really happy to see myself there to compete for my country Ghana.
"Looking at my performance I put up at the NCAA, I feel like I will do much better since it's going to be a competition among ourselves.
"Everyone should expect me qualifying to the finals and seeing myself on the podium. It will be such a great experience if at least I make it to the finals and get a medal."
Rose has impressed in recent months for Ghana, having clinched Gold medals in high jump at the African Athletics Seniors Championships and the 2023 African Games.
The Olympic Games runs from July 6 to August 11.
