Ghanaian swimmer, Harry Stacey has expressed his joy after booking his qualification ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic games.
Stacey qualified to the Olympics through a wildcard. Harry Stacey, the highest ranked male swimmer in Ghana as of June 23, 2024, according to the World Aquatics Point Table (2024 edition), made an entry time of 50.67 seconds at the Africa Aquatics Swimming Championships in Luanda, Angola.
In an Interview with 3 sports, the swimmer who only joined team Ghana in 2023 says qualifying for the big stage is a dream come true.
“You start swimming and you’re just getting used to the sport, you never know where you’re going with it, you’re just learning how to swim. But then after you start competing and you start hearing words like World Championships, Olympics and stuff like that, so this is the end goal, the dream, and to finally reach the pinnacle of swimming is surreal”. He said.
The 24-year-old will compete in the the Men’s 100 meters Freestyle at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Meanwhile, Ghana’s Joselle Mensah who also made it via a wild card will also seek glory in the 50m freestyle events.
