"Ghana’s Dynamic Duo Leads Eight-Athlete Team to World Athletics Championships in Tokyo"

" Ghana's Dynamic Duo Leads Eight-Athlete Team to World Athletics Championships in Tokyo \r\n\r\nGhana will be represented by an eight-athlete squad at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, with veteran sprinters Benjamin Azamati and Joseph Paul Amoah leading the charge. Both athletes are set to compete in their seventh consecutive major global championship, reinforcing their status as stalwarts of Ghanaian athletics.\r\n\r\nBenjamin Azamati, 28, will compete in the 100m and the 4x100m relay, while Joseph Paul Amoah will focus solely on the 4x100m event. Their extensive experience includes participation in the World Championships in Doha (2019), Eugene (2022), and Budapest (2023), as well as the Olympic Games in Tokyo (2020) and Paris (2024). They also represented Ghana at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham (2022).\r\n\r\nJoining the seasoned duo is Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, the national 100m record holder, who will make his World Championships debut. Saminu has made waves this year, clocking the seventh-fastest time in the world with an impressive 9.84 seconds, which also set a new national record in July. He will compete in both the 100m and the 4x100m relay.\r\n\r\nThe squad also features newcomers Ibrahim Fuseini, who will run the 200m and participate in the 4x100m relay, and Barnabas Aggerh, who has been named as part of the relay team. Their inclusion is a testament to Ghana's commitment to nurturing emerging talent.\r\n\r\nRose Amoanimaa Yeboah, the national record holder in the women's high jump and a two-time NCAA medallist, is the only female athlete on the team. Her participation highlights the growing presence of women in Ghanaian athletics.\r\n\r\nCompleting the team is 33-year-old Alex Amankwah, the national record holder in the 800m, who brings valuable experience from his previous appearance at the World Championships in London in 2017.\r\n\r\nGhana has not won a world championship medal since 2005, when Ignatius Gaisah secured silver in the men's long jump and Margaret Simpson earned bronze in the women's heptathlon. With this talented squad, the hope is that 2025 will mark a new chapter in Ghana's athletics history."
