Watch how Ghana's 4x100m men's relay team secured Olympics spot

Ghana won the heat with a season record of 38.29 seconds

Ghana's 4x100m men's relay team delivered a stunning performance to secure their place at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

After a heart-stopping moment at the World Relay Championships in the Bahamas, where a baton drop on Saturday threatened their chances, the team bounced back with determination.

On Sunday May 5, the quartet comprising Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Benjamin Azamati, and Joseph Paul Amoah, took to the track with renewed vigour.

They ran a seamless race, passing the baton with precision and speed, ultimately crossing the finish line in a season's best time of 38.29 seconds.

This victory in Heat 2 not only marked their qualification for the Olympics but also signified a moment of redemption.

The team's resilience was on full display as they outpaced competitors from Liberia and Nigeria, who also qualified for the Paris games.

The achievement comes on the heels of previous setbacks, including a baton change mishap at the African Games that cost them the gold medal.

However, the team's performance on Sunday has put those disappointments firmly in the past.

Now, with their eyes set on Paris, Ghana's 4x100m relay team is ready to compete on the world's biggest stage, proving that they have what it takes to run among the best.
