Ghana to participate in World Athletics Relays

Ghana will compete in the 2024 World Athletics Relays championship at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas on May 4-5, 2024.

The event is a crucial Olympic qualifier for the world’s top-performing athletes from more than 40 countries, and Ghana seeks to use the same to qualify the men’s 4 x 100m relay team to the Olympic Games in Paris, France.

The 4x100m men relay team, ranked 15th in the World, continues to build points or secure an automatic qualification having recently ran in the 2023 African Games and the Penn Relays placing second on both occasions to Nigeria and Jamaica.

Benjamin Azamati, who missed the Penn Relays, has joined Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Sean Safo-Antwi and Joseph Paul Amoah to hopefully secure a qualification.

Ghana Athletics president, Mr Bawa Fuseini, has expressed optimism that the performance of the sprinters currently was a surety that individual athletes and the relay team would surely qualify for the Olympics before the June window closes.

He continues to encourage corporate Ghana to invest in supporting the athletes in order to run in the qualifying championship. -ghanathletics.org
