\u201c31 places up, man this by far is my biggest climb on the IBSF men\u2019s skeleton table, I must tell you how thankful I am to my management team\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, he stated<\/p>\n
\u201cspecial thanks to Zach Lund. He is Head Performance Director of the Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Ghana (BSF \u2013 Ghana), Dr. Vernon Darko the BSF \u2013 Ghana President, and my fans all over Africa and the world\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This feat now places the Olympian 68th on the IBSF table overall 112. Moreover, this is quite impressive considering the fact that he beat out other male skeleton athletes.<\/p>\n
