Azamati and Saminu secure spots in Paris Olympics 100m

Ghana’s athletics team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has received a boost with the confirmation that Abdul-Rasheed Saminu and Benjamin Azamati have qualified for the men’s 100m event.

The sprinters secured their places based on the world rankings, with Azamati currently at 38th and Saminu positioned at 54th.

These rankings were sufficient to guarantee their spots at the prestigious Games.

However, for Saminu, this is not his only qualification. He previously secured a place in the men’s 200m event by surpassing the qualifying time of 20.16 seconds at the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I Outdoor Championships held in Oregon, USA, back in June.

Azamati had already booked his passage to Paris as part of Ghana’s successful 4x100m relay team, which qualified at the 2024 World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas back in May.

They will be competing alongside reigning African high jumper, Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah, and the remaining members of the qualified 4x100m relay team: Isaac Botsio, Joseph Paul Amoah, Fuseini Ibrahim and Edwin Gadayi.
