Ghana’s Men’s 4 x 100 Metre Relay Team secured their spot in the 2024 Olympic Games after a stunning victory in Heat 2 at the World Relays held in the Bahamas.

Outpacing competitors from Nigeria and the Dominican Republic, Team Ghana crossed the finish line with an impressive time of 38.29 seconds, marking Ghana’s fastest time of the season thus far.

Comprising Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Benjamin Azamati, and Joseph Paul Amoah, the Ghanaian quartet not only triumphed but also surpassed their own performance set at the 2023 African Games.

During the 2023 African Games in Accra, Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah, Edwin Gadayi, and Solomon Hammond secured silver with a time of 38.43 seconds.

In this latest feat, three members of Team Ghana demonstrated exceptional speed, each completing their split times in under 10 seconds, solidifying Ghana’s place in the upcoming Olympics in Paris.

Joseph Amoah, anchoring the team, recorded the swiftest split time at 9.12 seconds, closely followed by Isaac Botsio with 9.13 seconds. Despite carrying a hip injury, Benjamin Azamati managed a commendable split time of 9.35 seconds, while Ibrahim Fuseini clocked in at 10.09 seconds.

The journey to Olympic qualification wasn’t without its hurdles. On the first day of the World Relays, Ghana encountered a setback when they dropped the baton, causing them to miss out on qualification. This misfortune followed their second-place finish at the Penn Relays, emphasizing the team’s resilience in overcoming challenges to secure their Olympic berth.
