The Ghana Para Athletics team have arrived in Paris to participate in the final World Para Athletics (WPA) sanctioned event before the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
The event, the Paris 2024 WPA Grand Prix, will take place on June 13 and 14, 2024.
Among the athletes, Emmanuel Kweku Acquah, a promising talent, has successfully undergone classification in Paris ahead of the Grand Prix. This crucial process determines an athlete's eligibility and ensures fair competition.
This marks a significant milestone for Emmanuel, as it is his first international para-athletics event representing Ghana.
The team's impressive track record includes Zinabu Issah, who won two gold medals in Marrakech, and Edmund Govina, who clinched one gold medal in Marrakech, among other promising stars.
Leading the team are Henry Larbi, Chef de Mission for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and Mr. Ignatius Elletey, the African Paralympic Committee administrator.
"We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who made this journey possible," said Patrick Yaw Obeng, Team Captain.
"This support has been instrumental in our preparation for the Paris 2024 WPA Grand Prix," he added.
