Ghana is set to lose national long jump record holder Deborah Acquah after this year’s World Athletics championships in Oregon,USA.
According to her if she fails to get the needed support from Ghana after completing her University education in the United States of America.
Acquah who currently competes as a student for Texas A&M University says the high cost of training after school in the USA, could end her career since she won’t be on any scholarship after school.
“This is my last year in the NCAA, after that I will be off the scholarship, and I have been telling people I might quit athletics”.
“Because as it stands I cannot afford to be an athlete so I need support”.
“I don’t mind where the support comes from but if I do not get anything I will stop, because I cannot work and also be a full time athlete. It’s very difficult “she added.
