Ghana’s 4x100m relay team delivered an outstanding performance at the World Athletics Relays Championship in the Bahamas, securing their spot in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games late Sunday.
After a challenging start, where they finished eighth in the first heat due to a baton drop during a changeover, the team made a formidable comeback in the second heat.
The quartet, consisting of Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Benjamin Azamati, and Joseph Paul Amoah – who is also an African Games 200m gold medalist – achieved a season-best time of 38.29 seconds in their second race. This strong performance not only marked a significant improvement from their initial outing but also ensured their qualification for the Olympics.
In this impressive run, Ghana outpaced Nigeria, which also secured Olympic qualification with a time of 38.57 seconds, finishing second in the heat.
