If there had been support, I could have gone to Europe to compete because I was in great form. Unfortunately, none of that support came,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had to train on my own and ended up running my worst time of the season at the Olympics. Supporting athletes after college isn\u2019t just about giving them money for food; it\u2019s about facilitating their participation in competitions to stay in shape and build confidence before major tournaments. Without that, we\u2019ll continue to see athletes perform well in college but struggle in international events,\u201d he told the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azamati and friends hosted the third edition of the Ghana Junior Olympics, an event aimed at discovering and nurturing young athletic talent at the University of Ghana Stadium on Thursday, December 26, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event attracted budding young talents from Ghana and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/benjamin-azamati-750x536-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/benjamin-azamati-750x536-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/benjamin-azamati-750x536-1-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azamati who switched from football to track &amp; field said though 2024 was not a good season, he was able to make his second appearance at the Paris 2024 Games after Tokyo 2020 representing his country..
