Ghana's first-ever track cyclist Jedidiah Amoako-Ackah has revealed that he has only been sprinting for about 10 months.
Amoako-Ackah said that he has dived into the experience of the Commonwealth Games being in the country that he now lives and has a lot of friends here.
"I haven't been doing this for long you know - 10 months," he told BBC Sport. "I only actually started sprinting in March.
"I've kind of just dived right into the whole experience and I'm very glad. I've been living in Scotland for 14 years. When I'm speaking to my Scottish friends, my Scottish accent will sort of switch on!"
Amoako-Ackah finished 26th in the heats on Thursday morning.
