Ghana’s Men’s 4×100 relay team will be slugging it out with several other teams in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after securing their ticket to the games on Day 2 of the World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas.
The team have had to pick themselves up from a disappointing Day 1 outing where they dropped the baton, culminating in a last-place finish.
These days, football seems to be dropping out on putting Ghana up there. It is time for other sporting disciplines to pick their spots.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games qualification for Ghana’s Men’s 4×100 relay team is a great moment for the country, Ghana’s colours will be well represented at the games.
