Ghana’s men’s 4×100m relay team will line up in Sunday’s final at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo with the fastest qualifying time, after setting a new national record of 37.79s in Heat 2.
The quartet of Ibrahim Fuseini, Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah, and Abdul-Rasheed Saminu combined seamlessly to eclipse their own previous record of 38.07s, set at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene.
Their performance not only secured first place in their heat but also positioned them ahead of traditional sprinting powerhouses.
Among the teams standing in their way are Canada and the United States. Canada, who won gold in Eugene three years ago when Ghana last broke the national record, clocked 37.85s in the heats, the second-fastest time overall.
The United States qualified with 37.98s, while the Netherlands (37.95s), Japan (38.07s), Germany (38.12s), Australia (38.21s), and France (38.34s) complete the line-up for the final.
With the eight fastest nations in the world set to compete, Ghana will be seeking to translate their record-breaking momentum into a historic podium finish.
