Japanese top track athlete,Dae Tamasue has asked Ghanaian Athletes to be confident and committed to the sport in order to win medals at the Olympic Games.

The athlete who was in the country for a three-day visit said, Ghanaians are very kind and the athletes are very motivational.
"Ghanaians should keep the interest in sports and maintain some good sporting culture in order to make use of the amazing talents,"he stressed.
