Ghana’s Alex Amankwah saw his campaign at the World Athletics Championships cut short after failing to advance in the men’s 800 metres.
Amankwah clocked 1:45.08 to place eighth in Heat 7 and will now miss the semi-finals.
The race was won by former world champion Donavan Brazier of the USA in 1:44.66, followed closely by Slimane Moula of Algeria (1:44.77) and Croatia’s Marino Bloudek (1:44.78).
His early exit adds to a rollercoaster run for Team Ghana in Tokyo.
Sprinter Abdul Rasheed Saminu fell short of the men’s 100m final after finishing fourth in the semi-finals, while Benjamin Azamati exited in the opening round, placing sixth in his heat.
Attention now shifts to Ibrahim Fuseini, who will take to the track in the men’s 200 metres on Wednesday, September 17.
