2022 Commonwealth Games: Joseph Paul Amoah wins bronze in men’s 200m race

Ghanaian Sprinter, Joseph Paul Amoah has won bronze in the men’s 200meter final at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The 25-year-old finished the race with a time of 20.49s to secure 3rd position.

This is Ghana’s first medal in the track and field events after Benjamin Azamati missed out on a medal in the 100m final, a few days ago, while the men’s 4×100 meter relay team was disqualified from the final earlier on Saturday, August 6, 2022, for failing to inform officials about a change of athlete one hour to their semi-final race.

Amoah also becomes the first African to win a medal in the 200m event since 2006 and the first Ghanaian to win a medal in 200m since George Daniels in 1974.
