Now, since Martha B.'s, uh, you know, exploits at the time, it's been a very, very long wait and a topsy-turvy turn for young athletes from this country wanting to step up to that stage and achieve.

In recent days as well, we've heard about the exploits of the Ghana Olympic Committee in trying to engage various sporting associations, uh, that they work with to ensure that there is a strategic plan and a sustainable plan at that to ensure that our athletes are better prepared so they can start making better claims for these medals.

Well, I decided to, uh, you know, host the show from here today so that we get close to the Ghana Olympic Committee and have a look at what it's been, uh, in terms of planning, in terms of the program that's being done here so that Ghana can set herself, uh, apart and set herself on a stage where there's realistic expectations of having medals.

Of course, we're live on all of our affiliates across the country.

Greetings to our friends in the central region who are joining us from Castle FM.
