Some members of Team Ghana are currently in Strasbourg, France, preparing for the games, and would move to the Olympic Village in Paris on July 21, 2024.
Team Ghana would be hoping to improve on their last performance at the Olympics, where they won bronze in boxing.
Ghana has five medals from the Olympics (one silver and four bronze) and will be hoping to win its first medal in track and field.
