Gilbert Ampiah and Zinabu Issah put Ghana on the map at the world stage, bringing home three medals from the prestigious Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan International Para Athletics Meeting in Marrakech, Morocco.
Sixteen-year-old rising star Gilbert secured his first international medal with an impressive jump of 1.73 meters in the Men's T44 High Jump.
Zinabu, who is a national record-holder and multiple medallist, captured gold in the Women's F57 Discus Throw with a record 29.25 meters and silver in the F57 Shot Put with a throw of 8.54 meters.
The medals were presented as a token of gratitude and inspiration, reaffirming the vision of building Ghana into a continental powerhouse in para-sports.
