In an exciting turn of events, Ghanaian sprinter Abdul-Rasheed Saminu has secured a spot in the semifinals of the 100m race at the ongoing Paris Olympic Games. The 22-year-old athlete finished third in Heat Five with an impressive time of 10.06 seconds, earning him a place in the next round.

Saminu’s achievement is made even sweeter by the fact that he is joined in the semifinals by his fellow national teammate, Benjamin Azamati. Azamati also secured qualification after placing second in Heat One.

The two Ghanaian sprinters will compete in the semifinals later in the day, with their sights set on booking a spot in the 100m finals. This marks a historic moment for Ghanaian athletics, with two sprinters from the West African nation competing in the semifinals of the 100m event.

But their Olympic journey doesn’t end there. Saminu is also scheduled to compete in the 200m event later in the competition, while Azamati will represent Ghana in the 4x100m relay next week.

With their impressive performances, Saminu and Azamati have made Ghana proud and are giving their country a reason to cheer.
