Ghana’s 4x100m men’s relay team narrowly missed out on a podium finish after finishing fourth in the relay final at the 2025 World Athletics Championship.

Ghana’s quartet of Ibrahim Fuseni, Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah and Abdul Rasheed Saminu put on an impressive show in harsh weather conditions in Tokyo, Japan.
However, their time of 37.93s wasn’t enough in the keenly contested final, which was won by the USA (37.29s). Canada finished second with 37.55s, while the Netherlands took bronze (37.81s).
The Ghanaian relay team had high hopes going into the finals, especially after setting a new national record (37.79s) in yesterday’s semi-final event, when they finished first.
But unfortunately they couldn’t break Ghana’s 20-year wait for a medal at the World Athletics Championship, having won a silver and bronze in Helsinki in 2005 courtesy of Ignatius Giasah and Margaret Simpson.
In other developments, Ghana’s Rose Yeboah, who made the finals of the high jump women’s competition, couldn’t make the top three after placing 15th.
The two-time African Games gold medallist was unsuccessful in her attempt to clear 1.93 m, thereby exiting the competition.
