Abdul-Rasheed Saminu overcame initial nerves from the crowd at the Stade de France to reach the semi-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Reflecting on his performance, Saminu said he felt nervous running alongside Marcell Jacobs but is thankful to have made it to the semi-finals.

Benjamin Azamati faced a challenging lineup in the 100m semi-finals, competing against top sprinters such as Noah Lyles, Eseme, Oblique Seville, and two African sprinters, Ashe and Eseme. Both Azamati and Saminu have shown impressive performances, establishing themselves among the world’s best at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
