Ghanaian weightlifter, Marie Agbah-Hughes
Ghanaian female weightlifter Marie Agbah-Hughes has expressed her ambition to win more prestigious medals as she continues to compete in the sport.
According to her, she has already won bronze, silver, and gold medals throughout her career but is eager to achieve success on the international stage.
Agbah-Hughes noted that she is working diligently to compete in more international competitions to upgrade her status and make Ghana proud.
Speaking on Sports Check aired on GhanaWeb TV, Agbah-Hughes shared insights into her weightlifting career.
“I have to get back to you on the actual number, but the medals I usually get… My first competition was a bronze, so I thought, ‘I definitely want to see if I can get a silver or gold.’ The second time around, it was a gold medal. Each time I competed in the Connecticut state where I lived, I would get gold.
“I think there’s only one time I remember getting silver. So, out of the medals I have, I can say that out of all of them, I have one bronze and maybe two silvers. Everything else has been gold. Currently, it would be nice to win a gold medal in the international spectrum this year, so I look forward to it,” she said.
