Stroke after stroke, they matched strength with strategy, holding their nerve in a demanding race that tested endurance and mental toughness. Their bronze medal not only marked a personal triumph but also signalled a major milestone for a growing sport in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President of the Ghana Rowing and Canoeing Federation, Mr Kamal Sulley, who also served as an officiating official at the event, described the achievement as a significant leap forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt; \u201cThis is a major improvement on our performance at the recent ANOCA Schools Games in Algiers. The progress shown by these young athletes is remarkable and a clear indication that Ghana is moving in the right direction in rowing and canoeing,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/598511744_1487286432339917_7328253031053756490_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duo\u2019s impressive showing has not gone unnoticed beyond Africa. International observers at the Games have selected Maxwell Ofoi and Okronipa Ohene Emmanuel for a high-performance training camp in South Africa in January 2026, a crucial preparation phase toward the Junior World Cup Championship in Pozna\u0144, Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a sport still finding its footing in Ghana, this bronze medal represents more than just hardware. It is a story of belief, sacrifice and steady growth\u2014proof that with commitment and opportunity, Ghanaian athletes can compete and excel on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
