2024 Olympics: Ghana’s 4×100m relay team disqualified

Ghana's 4×100m relay team has missed out on a place in the men's final at the Paris Olympics.

The team, comprising Abdul Rasheed Saminu, Benjamin Azamati, Ibrahim Fuseini, and Joseph Paul Amoah, recorded a time of 38.62 seconds in Heat 2.

Unfortunately, their effort was overshadowed by a disqualification due to a baton exchange infringement.

This marks a disappointing repeat of the previous Olympics, where the team faced a similar disqualification in the final due to baton exchange issues.

The team's time of 38.62 seconds is their slowest in recent years, falling short of their previous performances of 38.07 seconds, 38.08 seconds, 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 advancing to the final.
