Ghana will compete in the Relay Heats on August 8 for a place in the final and a shot at winning a medal at the Paris Games. The relay team has been drawn in heat 2 lane 3, with Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah, Isaac Botsio and Ibrahim Fuseini representing the West African nation.
Media Attaché Benjamin willie Graham has thrown praises on Abdul-Rasheed Saminu’s performance in the men’s 100m race, terming it as a morale boosting performance ahead of Ghana’s participation in the 4×100- Meter Relays
“Coming into this competition, Saminu was the fastest athlete in the Ghanaian team with 10.02 seconds” so obviously he was top ranked or top rated by World Athletics. Now the 4×100 Team is also top rated at seventh in the world as well.”
“Basically I will say that, it’s a morale boosting performance. I’ve heard Saminu saying that Ghanaians should expect an explosive run from the 4×100 Metres Team.”
Team Ghana so far has taken part in swimming, high jump and Men’s100m race but is yet to claim a medal. August 8 will be a redeeming night for the team to return with a medal at this year’s Olympic Games.
