Azamati, who holds Ghana’s national record in the 100m, reached the semi-finals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. He recently skipped the World Relays in Guangzhou to focus on qualifying for the individual 100m event and has now achieved his goal.

He remains an important part of Ghana’s 4x100m relay team, having played a key role in setting the national record time of 38.07 seconds at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

While Azamati was not in the squad for the World Relays this year, the relay team still made the country proud.

Ghana’s men’s 4x100m relay team, made up of Barnabas Aggerh, Joseph Paul Amoah, Mustapha Alufar Bokpin, and Ibrahim Fuseini, finished second in Round 2 of the qualifiers in Guangzhou with a strong time of 38.32 seconds.

They narrowly missed first place, finishing just behind France, who won with a time of 38.31 seconds.

This result earned Ghana one of the final qualification spots for the relay event at next year’s World Championships in Tokyo.

With both Azamati and the relay team set to represent Ghana on the world stage, fans will be hoping for even more to celebrate in Tokyo.
