First was Ghanaian 100m record holder, Azamati, who won Heat 7 of the men’s race despite a shaky start to the event.

🇬🇭 Benjamin Azamati starts poorly, but cruises past the field in the 100m heats to win. Even eased at the end. Too easy.
Wins it in 10.19s. #JoySports pic.twitter.com/M8kNQdil2h— Gary Al-Smith (@garyalsmith) August 2, 2022
