Weightlifters Christian Amoah and Winnifred Ntumi have been crowned MTN Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Male and Female Weightlifters of the Year 2019.
The annual awards ceremony organized by SWAG seeks to recognize and appreciate athletes for a job well done in the year under review.
Amoah, Captain of the Black Cranes, was awarded the 2019 SWAG Weightlifter of the Year after his eight medals won last year.
He obtained three gold medals at the African Youth Weightlifting Championships in Uganda, three bronze medals at the African Games in Morocco, “1 yi8olkjknlfjgoif” and two bronze medals at the African Weightlifting Championships in Egypt, which places him above his peers and is worthy of the title.
His counterpart Ntumi won a bronze medal at the 2019 African Weightlifting Championships, competing in the 49 kg category.
She later won three bronze medals at the 2019 Africa Games in Morocco in the women’s 45kg category.
A total of seven medals and certificates from various international competitions in the year saw Miss Ntumi beat all female weightlifters in the award.
The MTN SWAG Awards are the oldest award scheme in Ghana and SWAG’s innovation to properly celebrate individual athletes and sports administrators.
The 45th edition of the MTN SWAG awards will be held at the SWISS Spirit Alisa Hotel on October 10, 2020, in strict compliance with the COVID-19 protocols.
