In a nail-biting finale that kept listeners glued to their radios, Salomey Apanyin, a passionate trader from Nsawam-Adoagyiri, emerged as the undisputed champion of Ahotor FM’s highly anticipated Sports Quiz competition.
The energetic sports enthusiast displayed remarkable knowledge, composure, and determination throughout the season, ultimately clinching the title with a commanding 22 points out of a possible 30 in the grand final held on May 20, 2026.
Her closest rival, the resilient Seth Frimpong, put up a valiant fight, scoring an impressive 19 points. The contest, broadcast live on Ahotor 92.3 FM, showcased the very best of grassroots sports quizzing in Ghana, blending sharp intellect, sports passion, and raw competitive spirit.
The Remarkable Journey of the Champion
Salomey Apanyin’s path to victory was anything but straightforward. She first announced her arrival in style during the preliminary rounds, particularly dominating Week 9. Facing stiff opposition from Tema-based contenders Kwame Appiah and Raymond Osabutey, Salomey delivered a masterclass, scoring 9 out of a possible 15 points. Her rivals managed just 6 and 3 points respectively, underlining her early dominance in the round.
Her momentum carried into the quarter-finals, where she posted a strong 21 points to advance alongside Benjamin Asante. However, Asante was later expelled from the competition for breaching the rules, leaving Salomey to continue her charge. In the semi-finals, she proved unstoppable once again, comfortably defeating Kekeli Palmer, the Kasoa Adade-based contestant making his maiden appearance in the competition.
The final itself was electric. Seated side by side in the studios of Ahotor 92.3 FM around 5:00 PM GMT on May 20, 2026, Salomey faced Seth Frimpong in a direct, high-stakes battle. Displaying glitz, confidence, and unflinching focus, the “fair-looking” sports enthusiast dominated from the opening round, securing the win and the ultimate prize: a brand new Nasco tabletop refrigerator along with a set of replica jerseys.
Seth Frimpong: The Inspirational Runner-Up
Seth Frimpong’s story added profound depth and inspiration to the entire season. A sexagenarian with a walking impairment, Seth’s truncated football career in his early life never dimmed his love for the beautiful game. His encyclopedic knowledge of sports shone brightly throughout.
In Week 5 of the preliminaries, he delivered a stunning performance, amassing 27 points and brushing aside as many as seven competitors—including eventual champion Salomey Apanyin. His impressive run continued in the quarter-finals, where he overcame formidable opponents such as Oko Evans from Asamankese, Awudu Issaka, and Daniel Amartey from Asuboi. He then dispatched Daniel Amartey in a straight semi-final battle to book his place in the grand finale.
Despite falling short in the final, Seth’s resilience and sportsmanship earned him widespread admiration. He walked away with a consolation prize of an electric iron and a set of replica jerseys.
