News - Happy Ghana
Ghana’s rising para-athletics sensation Hayford Addai delivered an outstanding performance at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, producing a lifetime best of 10.99 seconds to finish fifth in the fiercely contested Men’s 100m T47 final.
ADVERTISEMENTAlthough Addai narrowly missed out on a place on the podium, his performance has been widely hailed as one of Ghana’s brightest moments of the Games.
Competing at his first Commonwealth Games, the young sprinter demonstrated remarkable composure and determination against an elite international field.
The National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Ghana praised Addai’s determination, noting that his new personal best reflects the rewards of discipline, consistent preparation and growing international experience.
While the medals may have eluded him in Glasgow, Hayford Addai leaves Scotland with something equally significant—a new personal best, a historic sub-11-second performance, and the promise of an even brighter future for Ghanaian para-sport.
