Ghana’s 4x100 men’s relay team’s chances of qualifying for the Paris Olympic Games has become tougher, after they dropped the baton in the opening heat at the World Relays in Bahamas.
Ghana looked on course to book one of the two automatic qualifying spots, when an unfortunate mixup on the second changeover, between Isaac Botsio and Benjamin Azamati resulted in a dropped baton.
World champions USA won the heat, with Italy taking the other automatic qualifying spot.
Ghana however finished the race in eighth place with a time of 42.70 seconds.
At the end of Day 1, no African Country qualified for the Olympic Games in the 4x100m relays, both men and women.
Team Ghana will have another opportunity to book a place at the Olympics on Day 2 of the World Relays.
