Ghanaian sprinter Benjamin Azamati says he is ready for a tougher test after qualifying for the men’s 100m semi-finals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Azamati won Heat 5 in a season’s best 10.00 seconds to secure automatic qualification for Tuesday’s semi-finals.

“I was away for like a month. I just got back to racing… so I think it’s fine to be able to come out here and race and equal my season best,” he said.

Azamati says he expects tougher competition in the next round but is focused on taking the race one step at a time.

“The real test is tomorrow, which has more tougher competition… we come here to do our best tomorrow,” he added.

Azamati will now aim to secure a place in the final as he continues his quest for a medal for Ghana at the Games.
