Accra, Sep. 15, GNA – Ghana’s armwrestling team, Golden Arms, delivered a remarkable performance at the 2025 World Armwrestling Championship in Albena, Bulgaria, securing two silver medals and a bronze medal.

The team, represented by Mabel Yeboah, Blessed Abeka Nunoo, and Daniel Acquah, impressed with their technique and determination on the international stage.
