2023 Budapest: Ghana’s Men’s 4x100m Relay Team withdraws from World Athletics championships
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Former Ghanaian sprinter Emmanuel Tuffour, affectionately known as ‘Koraa’ in the athletics world, has expressed deep concern over the current state of Ghana’s relay team at the ongoing 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

Tuffour’s remarks come in the wake of a series of unfortunate events that have left the Ghanaian relay team facing serious challenges as they prepare for the men’s 4x100m relays on Friday.

Tuffour in aninterview on Happy FM’s Wamputu Sports highlighted key aspects that have contributed to this worrying scenario.

He emphasized that the injuries sustained by Ghanaian athletes during the competition should serve as a wake-up call for the nation’s athletics community.

The unexpected withdrawal of National 200m record-holder James Dadzie from the men’s 200m heats due to a hamstring injury underscores the physical toll these competitions can take on athletes.

This injury not only dashed Dadzie’s hopes but also raised questions about the team’s overall preparedness.

Tuffour questioned the decision to send only five athletes as representatives for Ghana in the competition. He suggested that a larger team might have helped mitigate the impact of injuries. He noted that more athletes would provide the team with additional options, reducing the pressure on any one individual to perform exceptionally while carrying the weight of the team’s hopes.

He pointed out that major countries competing at the international level often field larger teams of up to seven or eight members. This strategy allows for greater flexibility and better management of unforeseen circumstances such as injuries.

The implications of the injuries suffered by Joseph Paul Amoah and James Dadzie have cast a shadow over Ghana’s participation in the men’s 4x100m relays, a traditionally exciting event that showcases the nation’s sprinting prowess. With only three fit members available for the relay team, namely Edwin Gadayi, Isaac Botsio, and Raymond French, the odds are stacked against them.
