Team Ghana finished 6th with a time of 38.62s in the men’s 4*100m relay. They’re out of the competition. No Ghanaian remains in #Paris2024

A messy baton changeover and stumbling runs means Ghana finishes 6th in Heat 2 of the men’s 4x100m relay Heats and WILL NOT make the final.

Most of Team Ghana came onto the scene 3-4 years ago running under 10 seconds. Joe Paul and Azamati hold National Records that stood since 1990s. Can we confidently say they have improved since then? Raw talent can only take you so far in these competitions.

Ghana disqualified from the 4x100 relay! Ghana’s Men’s 4x100 relay team did not advance to the finals at the 2024 Olympics. A poor baton exchange between Saminu and Azamati resulted in Ghana's disqualification.
Ghana suffers 4X100m disqualification
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Ghana’s men’s 4x100m relay team faced a disappointing outcome at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, as they were disqualified from the event, missing out on the finals.
The quartet—comprising Abdul-Saminu Rasheed, Benjamin Azamati, Ibrahim Fuseini, and Joseph-Paul Amoah—crossed the finish line in 38.62 seconds, placing sixth in their heat.
However, their efforts were ultimately nullified due to a lane infringement.
