Ghana’s representatives at this year’s Olympics made a glittering appearance at the Games when the Opening Ceremony was held.

The build-up has been dominated by a doping largely around Russia. The Zika virus struggle and security and poor infrastructure

These are the Games of the 31st Olympiad but are the 28th to be held as those in 1916, 1940 and 1944 did not take place because of war.

The Games are holding in South America for the first time and runs from August 5 to 21.
