    An n-dimensional differential manifold M is said to be almost negatively Ricci curved, if for arbitrary \(c>0\), there is a Riemannian metric g on M, such that \[ diam(M,g)^ 2\cdot \max Ric(M,g)<\epsilon. \] In this paper the author proves that any n-dimensional sphere \(S^ n(n\geq 3)\) admits almost negatively Ricci-curved metrics.
