Team Ghana was disqualified from the Men’s 4x100m relay event at the 2024 Olympic Games after a late baton changeover.
The disqualification was a result of a delayed third and final changeover from the third leg to the anchor leg.
Rasheed Saminu, the first leg, got off to a good start, but he struggled with his changeover to the second leg, Benjamin Azamati, which affected the momentum of their race.
Azamati got his change to the third leg, Ibrahim Fuseini, right, but the final change to the anchor leg, Joseph Paul Amoah, was delayed yet again and happened outside the required zone. Therefore making their sixth place in Heat 2 with a time of 38.62s invalid.
China emerged as the winner of the heats, clocking 38.24s. France came second with 38.34s, while Canada took the third spot with 38.39s.
