Africa-Press – Liberia. Liberia’s track and field is fast becoming one of Africa’s rising forces, thanks to the exploits of sprint duo Joseph Fahnbulleh and Thelma Davies, who are now carrying the nation’s flag on some of the sport’s biggest stages.
Both athletes are preparing to storm the track on Wednesday at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, where they will contest the 200-meter heats.
Thelma Davies returns with renewed determination after an impressive run in the women’s 100 meters, where she reached the semifinals before narrowly missing out on a spot in the final. She races again at 8:30 p.m. Japanese time (11:30 a.m. Liberian time), eager to convert experience into success in the 200 meters.
Meanwhile, Joseph Fahnbulleh, Liberia’s sprint sensation, makes his highly anticipated debut in Tokyo. With his blistering pace and explosive finish, Fahnbulleh has already etched his name into the nation’s sporting history—winning Liberia’s first-ever gold medal in athletics at the African Games earlier this year, while also delivering strong performances at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he reached the finals in the men’s 200 meters.
Their recent achievements have placed Liberia on the map as one of Africa’s performing athletics nations, breaking decades of absence from the medal podium and inspiring a new generation of athletes at home.
As Fahnbulleh and Davies prepare to step onto the Tokyo track, expectations are high. Their presence not only symbolizes individual ambition but also represents Liberia’s resurgence in global athletics.
All eyes will be on these two sprint stars as they chase glory, speed, and national pride—flying Liberia’s colors on one of the sport’s most electrifying stages.
