Sports News of Monday, 9 August 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comTeam Ghana finished 10th on the African Medal Table and 86th overall as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics ended over the weekend. The sole medal won by boxer Samuel Takyi proved to be the only medal that Team Ghana won at the multisport event. For the first time in 29 years, the sport of boxing once again placed Ghana on the medal table after Samuel Takyi won bronze in the men's featherweight division, having reached the semi-final stage. The Ghana Olympic Committee and the various sporting federation heads had hoped Ghana would add to her medal haul but that was not to be. Egypt and Ethiopia followed with 6 and 4 medals respectively but were ranked lower because they had more bronze medals than gold or silver.
