Ahead of the 2023 World Athletics Championships to be hosted in Budapest, Joy Sports gathered stakeholders and members of Ghana's team to assess the team's genuine medal potential.

Deborah Acquah's 6.94m leap at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, which won her bronze, also qualified the national record holder to Budapest, 12 months before the competition.

Three other athletes; Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah and Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah, have tentatively qualified through their world rankings and as ‘area champions’.

Before the Championships in Oregon, 2022, Ghana produced two sub-10 performances in the 100m event, Amoah was also running good times over 200m, while Acquah recorded a then national record of 6.89m.

But this year ahead of Budapest, there have been no legal sub-10 performances over 100m, while Ghana's qualified athletes in the other individual events have endured difficult seasons.

Meanwhile, the 4x100m men's relay team have not been in any race since the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

So what is Ghana's true medal potential in Budapest?
