Olympics will climb up - IMC member
Accra (Greater Accra) 27 September 2001 – Ghana will participate in
four disciplines in the Commonwealth Games in July next year at Manchester.
Among the disciplines are two traditional ones, boxing and athletics.
The others are Judo and Badminton.
The international Games Committee (GC) is in consultation with the
affected disciplines to that effect.
The National Sports Council Chief Executive, Brigadier George Brock,
who disclosed this in Accra said the choice of Judo and Badminton was made in
view of the potential they hold for the country.
It would be recalled that when Ghana participated in its first ever
Judo competition, she picked a bronze medal, and Badminton also came very close
to the medal zone.

Accra (Greater Accra) 27 September 2001 - Wonder club, Accra Great Olympics
has described its 14th position on the Star Premier League table as
only a temporary lapse to their wondrous status, reassuring the long-suffering
fans that “all will soon be over”.
Olympics is noted to be the most unpredictable club side in the history
of the league since its inception in 1958.
“There is no cause for alarm because, steadily, the club is rising
above the tempest that hit it during the first round”, Mr Bob
Fleischer-Djoleto, Interim Management Member (IMC) of Olympics stated in Accra.
The wonder club has been locked up in as many as eight drawn games and
eight defeats, a result which the fans lament over as not holding good omen for
a club fighting to escape the threat of relegation.
Mr Fleischer-Djoleto, however, noted that the inconsistent performance
of the club at the moment stemmed from a multiplicity of factors “which of
course include the fact that the rebuilding process is still ongoing.”
