Ghana high jumper, Rose Amoaniwaa Yeboah, has pinned her inability to put up a better performance at the Africa Athletics Championship on the poor condition of the running track at the Japoma Stadium in Doaula, Cameroon despite winning gold at the competition.<\/p>\n

She said this in an interview with Citi Sports after clinching her second gold medal at the Championships with a jump of 1.87 metres after winning gold at the 2022 edition in Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Yeboah, who has qualified to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, went into the competition after jumping a height of 1.97 metres and believes the poor state of the track played a role in her failure to better the mark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have already jumped 1.97 but I couldn\u2019t make a higher height here because the track wasn\u2019t good enough for a smooth take off to put up a better performance so I feel like that was what caused me not to jump a better height.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeboah has had a brilliant 2024 campaign thus far with the former Kumasi Girls High School athlete winning gold at the 2023 African Games in Accra.<\/p>\n
