By In a stunning display of skill and determination, Ghanaian para-athlete Zinabu Issah has once again brought pride to her nation, securing a silver medal at the World Para Athletics (WPA) 2025 Marrakech Grand Prix. Competing in the Women’s F57 Shot Put, Issah delivered an impressive throw of 8.54 meters, narrowly missing the top spot as Nigeria’s athlete claimed gold with a throw of 8.94 meters.
Issah’s achievement in Marrakech adds another chapter to her growing legacy as one of Africa’s most formidable para-athletes in field events. Her silver medal comes on the heels of a remarkable gold medal win in the F57 discus throw at the same Grand Prix, where she set a new personal best of 29.25 meters. This throw not only marked a significant improvement from her previous record but also underscored her potential to challenge the world’s best in the F57 category.
The Marrakech Grand Prix has proven to be a pivotal moment for Issah, whose performances have solidified her status as a rising star in para-athletics. With her sights set on bigger stages, she is now on the cusp of qualifying for the WPA 2025 World Championships and the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. To further bolster her chances, Issah is gearing up for upcoming competitions, including the WPA Paris 2025 Grand Prix and the All-Women WPA 2025 Grand Prix in the Czech Republic.
Issah’s success is a testament to her hard work, resilience, and the growing strength of Ghana’s para-athletics program. As she continues to compete on the global stage, her journey inspires countless others, proving that dedication and talent can overcome any obstacle. Ghana eagerly awaits her next triumph, as Zinabu Issah continues to aim for greatness in the world of para-sports.
