As much as i agree we may be having such potentials yet untapped, i also can't comprehend why those living on coast lines like Greater Accra, Central, and Western can't produce swimmers to compete in world events yet these people are able to steal bags of rice, sugar, maize and other items, put them on their backs and swim long distances to hide them. Again, why is it always Accra and Kumasi? When is HO hosting?

Competitive swimming is not BUGA DA KARFI like the survival skills we know of. We need the facilities to train. I bet you that world champion swimmers like Phelps cannot the survive the waves Efo and Kojovi can

I support this momentum to rekindle the dormant athletic spirit which was once a unifying element of our post independence experience.
Those of us who had the benefit to live in the era of national inter-collegiate sporting activities can safely attest to the harmony and decorum we enjoyed together as a nation. It was an unparalleled period of pure human celebrations, devoid of tribalism and far reaching perceptions which now dominate and continue to intertwine the well knitted societal fabric we struggled to weave for posterity.
I wholeheartedly subscribe to any attempt to bring back that spirit. This era is seriously thirsting for good role models which are usually found in athletes.

Then came our generation Kofi Karikari, Dan Lomotey, Daniel Phillips, Grace Bakari, Joe Apraku and myself. Those were the days, either at the Super Zonals or the National Day Games.
BTW was JC a better hanball player than discus/javelin thrower?
In any case may god bless your efforts, initiative takers.

Dr Tommy de Laurence, good write and you sound like a veteran in this field and when someone is talking post independence it means they've seen the good days of Ghana. I do agree Ghana hasn't done much recently to tap into other sports other than football and there is a lot of opportunities for the youth in sports.
