The 2022 K-Balm National Armwrestling Championship is set to come off on Friday with support from Max Fly Energy Drink and other brands targeted at making the event a success.
Powered by Perception Management International, the one-day national armwrestling championship under the auspices of the Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF) is an annual exercise to recruit prospective athletes to beef up the national team, the Golden Arms.
The championship will be held at the DG Hathramani Hall at the Accra Sports Stadium and beamed live on ETV Ghana and all GAF social media handles.
Mr. Charles Osei Asibey, President of the GAF said Ghana will be competing at the 2022 Africa Armwrestling Championship next month in Lagos, Nigeria and the World Armwrestling Championship later in October so would want to strengthen the national team in its quest to win more medals for Ghana.
He added that armwrestling, having been added to the sports code for the 2023 Africa Games to be held in Ghana, challenges the federation to put in more effort to achieve Ghana’s target of ‘host and win’ for the Africa Games.
Mr Osei-Asibey said all Ghanaians interested in exhibiting their talent and strength to represent Ghana at local and international competitions were welcomed to participate in the Friday June 17 event scheduled for 2pm for both male and female in left and right arm battles.
He encouraged more girls and officers from the Security Services Sports Association (SESSA) to register in order to make a name for themselves.
Meanwhile, selected athletes from the regional teams in Ashanti, Northern, Greater Accra, Eastern, Volta/Oti and Western/Western North have been invited to pull.
Side attraction will be the battle by Presidents of the various sports federations.
