Paris Olympics: Yeboah makes history for Ghana despite failing to progress

Accra, Aug. 02, GNA – Ghana’s best high jumper, Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah, became the first Ghanaian female high jumper to compete at the Olympic Games.

The 22-year-old, despite failing to clear the 1.92m bar, made an impressive outing in her Olympic debut at the Stade de France in Paris.

Yeboah season’s best was 1.97m going into the women’s high jump competition, although she faced stiff competition from Serbia’s Angelina Topic and Ukraine’s Mahuchickh Yaroslave, who were favourites to progress to the finals.
