Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Dozens of athletes from Sierra Leone arrived two weeks ago in Birmingham, UK, where they will compete with top athletes from across the Commonwealth in field and track events. The young team from Sierra Leone were seen last week at the opening ceremony of the Games in Birmingham, in their colourful national colours \u2013 Green, White and Blue, symbolising hope and renewal.<\/p>\n

Athletes from Sierra Leone are yet to make any impact on world athletics compared to their Nigerian counterparts \u2013 one of whom, two weeks ago set a world record in women\u2019s one hundred meters hurdles in the USA.<\/p>\n

No one is expecting Sierra Leone\u2019s athletes to set world records at these Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, but there is plenty of hope of at least winning one medal to take back home to uplift the mood of the nation.<\/p>\n

As track and field competitions get underway today, some African nations are proving their mettle at the games. After five days of competition, South Africa has won 12 medals \u2013 5 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze in fifth position; with Nigeria making good progress in 10th place, after winning 5 medals \u2013 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze.<\/p>\n

Will Sierra Leone make an impact at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, or are the nation\u2019s athletes simply there to put up an appearance in their beautiful green, white and blue?<\/p>\n
