The Ghana Weightlifting Federation (GWF) has named Christian Amoah as Ghana’s representative for this year's Rio Olympic Games.

The GWF was caught in a dilemma on who to select to represent the country in the discipline after team Ghana’s qualification for the games in Cameroun in May.

But after a thorough assessment by the technical committee the onus fell on Amoah who has gained rich experience internationally and the 17-year old weightlifter has promised to do his best.

“For now I am happy and Ghanaians should expect a good show from me. I am not going to promise medals though, but I will do well for the nation to do well”, he told Starr Spots.

Meanwhile, team Ghana’s official list for the multi-sports event is yet to be announced.
