Glasgow 2026: Team Ghana eyes more glory as medal hunt continues

Team Ghana returns to action today with renewed determination at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, buoyed by a historic opening week that has already produced a medal and a national athletics milestone. Ghana's medal tally currently stands at one medal after Zinabu Issah claimed a superb silver medal in the Women's Para Shot Put T57, registering a throw of 8.65 metres to secure Team Ghana's first podium finish of the Games.

With that performance, Ghana is currently joint 20th on the overall Commonwealth Games medal table alongside Sri Lanka. The Games have also witnessed another landmark achievement for Ghanaian sport, with 17-year-old Hayford Addai producing a sensational performance in the Men's 100m T47 Final, clocking 10.99 seconds to become the first Ghanaian T47 sprinter to officially break the 11-second barrier. Addai finished fifth and shattered his previous personal best of 11.09 seconds. Today's programme presents another opportunity for Team Ghana to add to its medal tally, with athletes competing in both weightlifting and athletics. Abdul Salim Adjei will compete in the Men's 110kg Final at 9:30 AM. In athletics, Evonne Britton will compete in the Women's 100m Heat 1 at 11:30 AM, while James Dadzie, Joseph Paul Amoah, and Mustapha Bokpin will compete in the Men's 200m Semi-finals.
