Iddrusu Musa and Grace Obuor
Organizers of the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human have backed their words with action by selecting the best local talent from all the 2018 Competitions into GNPC Speedsters Club, in association with Adidas.
The 2018/2019 edition which started yesterday till October 2019 is based in Kumasi, where the selected athletes are housed. They would be fed with the best nutrition, with the best sprinting coaches made available to them, the best sports psychologist, the best muscle trigger man, while they are taken through tuition, revision classes, and career planning.
Additionally, the organizers will give them medical treatment when ill and clothe them in Adidas, 3 stripes for life.
After combing all of Ghana with high grade competitions, the founders have settled on the following four gifted athletes:
Edwin Gadayi from the Volta Region – 17 years and 5ft 9 inches, he’s the first one to be selected into Pour Club, back to back. He won two gold medals for Ghana at the ECOWAS U-20 championships, lost focus at the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human 2018 final of finals last month by not advancing from the heats, due to one problem after the other; yet he remains the country’s finest.
Grace Obuor from the Ashanti Region – 17 years old and 5ft 8 inches. She won a gold medal for Ghana in the 400 meters at the ECOWAS U-20 championships and also came and she came and blew all away in the 100 meters of the U-18 category, to be crowned GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human U-18 this year. She’s a final year student at the great TI AMASS SHS.
Raymond French from Takoradi, 19 years and 5ft 10 inches and an amazing sprinter. Watch out for this raw talent. He didn’t win anything but our technical team selected him based on his ability.
Iddrisu Musa, 18, 6ft tall, from the Northern Region is the latest sensation. He beat all in Ghana to be crowned GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human U-18 and has so much strength.
