Benjamin Azamati has voiced strong concerns over preparations, after Ghana’s men’s 4x100m relay team secured qualification for a fourth consecutive appearance at the World Athletics Championships.
Ghana produced a spirited performance on the final day of the World Relays to book their ticket, but Azamati says the build-up to the race was far from ideal compared to their competitors.
“We’re competing against guys who’ve been here one to three weeks while we’ve been traveling since Wednesday and arriving a day before on a new continent,” he said on X.
“I get it… I guess we’re magicians. Do better, Sports Ministry!”
To add to that, we’re competing against guys who’ve been here 1–3 weeks while we’ve been traveling since Wednesday and arriving a day before on a new continent.
