Team Ghana’s bid in athletics has so far not been too successful after the initial heats in a number of events at the Hampden Park in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
Kwadwo Acheampong could not go far in the Men’s 400m as he finished 5th in Heat 2 with a time of 47.72 seconds and the same fate befell Daniel Gyasi who ran in the 7th heat of the event.<\/p>\n
He also came in 5th and he recorded a time of 47.07 seconds. His team-mate John Obrien did not fare better in his heat after injuring himself and thus, could not finish.<\/p>\n
In yesterday’s initial round, Solomon Afful finished 5th in the Men’s 100m heat and he made a time of 10.66 seconds while Shawkia Iddrisu was 5th in her 400m heat with a time of 55.74 seconds.<\/p>\n
In the men’s decathlon, Atsu Nyamadi came fifth in the second heat of the men’s 100m in a time of 11.27 seconds.<\/p>\n
He also took part in the long jump Group A and leaped a distance of 7.36m and threw 10.38m in the shot put to place 10th in that event.<\/p>\n
The times he recorded in the 100m and the long jump are his new personal best times for the current season.<\/p>\n
Overall, Nyamadi lies 9th with 2397 points while the leader, Damian Warner of Canada leads the line with 2691 points.<\/p>\n
Nyamadi will compete in the high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, Discuss throw and the pole vault on the 28th and the 29th of July at the Hampden Park in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
