Rose Yeboah qualifies for Olympic Games

Ghanaian high jumper, Rose Yeboah has booked her ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with a 1.97m jump at the NCAA Championship in Oregon.

The 22 year old represented the University of Illinois in the NCAA Championship and by virtue of her leap made history for herself and Ghana.

Her 1.97m leap is her new personal best, a new national record, a new NCAA record and a new school record. Rose Yeboah also won a gold medal in the African Games earlier this year in Accra.

With her qualification to the Olympic Games earmarked to be staged in Paris, France, she becomes the second Ghanaian to book a spot after sprinter Abdul-Rasheed Saminu.
