Gaisah backs Janet Amponsah to shine at IAAF World Championships
Defected Ghana Long Jumper Ignitious Gaisah is backing athlete Janet Amponsah to win a medal at the upcoming IAAF World Championships in Moscow, Russia.
Janet Amponsah will be Ghana's only athlete to participate in this year's games after qualifying as a wild card.
The young athlete will compete in the women 200 meters event and Gaisah, a former World Indoor Championships gold medalist, believes Amponsah can make a huge impact despite her relative inexperience.
"I will advice her to keep focus and take the race one at a time and she doesn't have to feel lonely because I'm going to be there, I know her from Kumasi and we have trained together on many occasions,” said Gaisah in an interview with Joy sports
