Sierra Leone is not investing in sports (apart from football) but have the arrogance of expecting to win medals. Let’s stop fooling ourselves and push for equal funding from the GOSL to all NATIONAL SPORTING DISCIPLINES/ORGANIZATIONS.
Until then, we will only be winning trophies and medals in our dreams. I’m not guessing or assuming…I’m a sports administrator and we get zero support but “they” expect us to perform miracles when we send our poorly trained athletes out there.
Yes, just because the one who the cap fit didn’t allowed to wear it.
Twwww useless sport officials
What a shame and disappointment
These athletes need more training opportunities to develope themselves.
