Paris 2024: No Psychologist in Ghana’s 13 man technical contingent to Olympics
Ghana’s Olympic team made a vibrant appearance at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, joining over 150 countries in a spectacular parade along the Seine River.
A total of eight Ghanaian athletes will compete in this year’s Olympics, including high jumper Rose Yeboah, swimmers Joselle Mensah and Harry Stacey, and the Men’s 4×100 Relay Team.
The Ghanaian delegation in Paris comprises 13 individuals, led by Ghana Olympic Committee President Ben Nunoo Mensah.
The team’s support staff includes veteran sports journalist Benjamin Willie Graham as Media Attache, Philippina Frimpong as Athletics Leader, and Ghana Swimming Association President Delphina Quaye as Swimming Leader.
However, notably absent from the team’s support staff is a psychologist, despite having a physiotherapist, nurse, and doctor in attendance.
Ghana won a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics through boxer Samuel Takyi and is aiming to improve its tally in Paris.
