Gymnastics display forced to end after failed jump
Ghanaians have taken to social media platforms to mock a gymnast whose fire display went wrong at the 65th Independence anniversary celebrations in Cape Coast.
As part of the ways to spice up the Independence Day Celebration, there is usually a parade and march-past by various schools and national security.
However, things did not go down well for a gymnast after he missed his steps during a high jump over a loop set ablaze.
The Gymnastics display by the Military Physical Training School of the Ghana Armed Forces was forced to end after the incident as the loop was destroyed after the failed jump.
But Twitter users have taken to the platform to share their opinions on this incident
While some have expressed sympathy, others mock the participants for failing to rehearse well ahead of the event.
