From the IPC record
Ghana’s recent IPC profiles show how Paralympic visibility can encourage new sporting pathways. Emmanuel Oku took up Para powerlifting after watching Rio 2016 and later represented Ghana at Tokyo 2020. Sprinter Amos Ahiagah combined training with work as a barber while developing national-level experience. These personal histories complement the existing Ghana archive of athlete development, international competition and preparations for major multi-sport events.
