A member of Ghana's 4x100m relay team, Joseph Paul Amoah, has recounted the team's mentality in securing their ticket to the 2024 Olympic Games.
Ghana's relay team booked qualification to Paris after beating Nigeria to the first spot in Heat 2 of Day 2 of the Bahama Relays in May.
Joe Paul ran the anchor leg on the day for Team Ghana as booked back-to-back Olympics qualifications.
Prior to the success, Ghana's team had failed in their first attempt on Day 1 after dropping the baton which Joe Paul revealed the team had to forget in time.
"We went into that race trying to make it into the finals. When that stuff happens, you just regroup. It's not time to play the blame game...We just had to get our minds right and mentally stay strong," he told Joy Sports during Wednesday night's Gold Chase.
"We knew we had a good team but in the relay, it is the baton that really speaks. We just had to make sure we came into the race the next day trying to make sure we made the baton around.
"We knew that if we did that, the rest was going to be history...We just wanted to execute the race and come out with the win."
The team is now in Paris for the games after training in Strasbourg for a week as part of their preparation to the championship.
