Ghanaian sprinters, Benjamin Azamati and Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, have both qualified for the semifinals of the men’s 100m at the ongoing Paris Olympics.
Azamati, Ghana’s record holder in the event, finished second in Heat 1, behind Jamaican Kishane Thompson, with a time of 10.08 seconds.
There was some controversy in that heat, as Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu, was disqualified for a false start.
Saminu, also came through Heat 7 in third place, with a time of 10.06 seconds, behind Nigeria’s Kayinsola Ajayi and reigning Olympic champion, Marcell Jacobs.
This is the first time both Azamati and Saminu have reached an Olympic semifinal.
The men’s 100m semifinals will take place on Sunday evening.
