African Games: Ghana bags 9 medals in Mixed Martial Arts
Ghana has bagged nine medals in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) during Tuesday night’s events at the ongoing 2023 African Games.
The outstanding performance includes one gold, three silver, and five bronze medals, highlighting the country’s prowess in the dynamic and exciting sport.
It’s important to note that despite the impressive outcome, these MMA medals will not contribute to Ghana’s standing on the overall competitive medal table, as MMA is currently a demonstration sport at the Games.
Nevertheless, Team Ghana’s exceptional display in MMA serves as a notable mark of improvement and reinforces the nation’s commitment to sporting excellence.
Ghana had previously secured five medals in traditional competitive games, with weightlifter Winnifred Ntumi clinching a gold and two silvers, and swimmer Abeiku Jackson earning silver and bronze in the Men’s Butterfly. The addition of the MMA medals further cements Ghana’s presence on the podium and showcases the country’s versatile athletic capabilities.
