Ghana’s relay team has qualified for the final of the 4x100m event of the 2020 Olympic Games as the second fastest losers.
Ghana’s team of Benjamin Azamati, Emmanuel Yeboah, Sean Safo Antwi and Joseph Paul Amoah managed to secure a ticket to the final despite finishing fifth in the heats.
The time of 38.08 seconds was considered enough to help Ghana’s team keep up with their medal chase in the competition.
Ghana took off with Sean Safo-Antwi who passed the baton to fast Benjamin Azamati. Emmanuel Yeboah then took over with a good sprint before handing it over Joe Paul Amoah who managed to finish well enough to keep Ghana in the competition.
The team has also broken the national record which stood at 38.12 seconds. That record was set by Abu Duah, Eric Nkansah and Emmanuel Tuffour at the 1997 World Athletics Championship held in Greece.
The finals is scheduled for 13:50 GMT on Friday.
