Ghana’s Frederick Assor finished 12th in Wednesday’s qualifiers of the men’s B4000m individual pursuit in para-cycling in the ongoing Tokyo Paralympic Games.
His time of 6 minutes 28.302 seconds was not enough to get him to the next stage of the competition and he was thus eliminated.
The second of Ghana’s 3 Paralympic athletes, Emmanuel Nii Tetteh Oku, will compete in the men’s para powerlifting event at 2am on Saturday August 28.
Para high jumper, Yusif Amadu, will be in action on Monday, August 31 at 10:25am in the men’s T63 high jump event.
Speaking in an interview on Wamputu Sports on Happy 98.9FM, Shaban Mohammed of the Cycling Federation said Frederick Assor will put up his best performance in his next event.
“Frederick Assor will compete in the 1,500 meters race. We are going to put our best performance. Because of the COVID-19 we couldn’t train that much that is why I am not surprised at these results”.
“We are going to put up our best performance”, he added.
