Paris 2024: Azamati, Saminu through to men’s 100m semifinals

Benjamin Azamati and Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, two Ghanaian sprinters, have both advanced to the men’s 100-meter semifinals of the on-going Paris Olympics.

With a time of 10.08 seconds, Ghana’s record holder in the event, Azamati, came in second in Heat 1 behind Kishane Thompson of Jamaica.

 

In that heat, there was some controversy as Jeremiah Azu of Great Britain was disqualified for a false start.

 

Saminu also finished Heat 7 in third place, trailing only Kayinsola Ajayi of Nigeria and Marcell Jacobs, the current Olympic champion, with a time of 10.06 seconds.

 

Azamati and Saminu have never advanced to the Olympic semifinals before.

 

On Sunday night, the men’s 100-meter semifinals will take place.
