Ghana’s 4×100m relay team has missed out on a place in the men’s final at the Paris Olympics.
The team, consisting of Abdul Rasheed Saminu, Benjamin Azamati, Ibrahim Fuseini, and Joseph Paul Amoah, finished Heat 2 with a time of 38.62 seconds.
However, their efforts were overshadowed by a disqualification due to a baton exchange violation.
This outcome is reminiscent of the disappointment from the previous Olympics, where the team was also disqualified in the final for a similar baton exchange error.
Their time of 38.62 seconds marks their slowest performance in recent years, in contrast to previous times of 38.07, 38.08, and 38.29 seconds.
China won the heat with a time of 38.24 seconds, followed by France at 38.34 seconds, and Canada at 38.39 seconds, all of whom advanced to the final.
