Weightlifter Christian Amoah is now focusing on the 2022 Commonwealth Games after placing overall 12^th  position in his event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The 22-year-old was fourth in his group in the men’s 96Kg in the weightlifting event at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

He is the second best on the African continent and currently positioned fourth in the Commonwealth.

He cleared the first round successfully, making the 140 snatch and 165 clean and jerk.

He has pleaded with corporate entities to support the less financed sports like weightlifting as with a little encouragement, they can win medals for the nation.

He thanked the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) Ben Nunoo Mensah for his vision and support as well as the sponsors of Team Ghana at the 2020 Olympic Games.

Amoah who has left the Olympic Village and expected to be in Accra urged the remaining athletes to give off their best to give Ghana more medals.

He congratulated Samuel Takyi for making the 2020 Olympic Team proud by winning the Bronze medal in the featherweight boxing.
