A 15-year-old named Peter Bewie emerged as the first Sierra Leonean athlete to qualify for the Junior Olympic Games during his participation at the qualifiers, which were held in Columbus, Ohio.

SLAA officials said Bewie has been “training diligently, and his performances speak volumes about his potential.”

We are immensely proud of his accomplishments and eagerly anticipate future successes, SLAA added.
