Frederick Assor and his pilot, Rudolf Mensah, made a historic debut as Ghana's first blind Paralympic cyclists, facing tough competition at the Paris velodrome.
Despite finishing last in both events, Assor expressed that the experience of competing in the Paralympics boosted his confidence and helped him overcome his visual impairment.
Assor lamented the disparity in equipment, stating that while other cyclists had advanced bikes, they were on an outdated model, which hampered their performance.
Assor's journey to cycling began after losing his sight at 14; it has since transformed his life, giving him confidence and a passion for sport.
