It happened in Bahamas in May 2024 At the Thomas A. Robinson Track & Field Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas, in the 4X100m Relay qualifiers for the 2024 Olympics Games in Paris.
Heat One of the World Athletics 400×100 Meters Relay was so competitive as it contained the USA, Brazil, Italy, Liberia, Korea, Bahamas, Ghana and Czech Republic.
lbrahim Fuseini had a good start for Ghana but unfortunately, changeover between Isaac Botsio and Benjamin Azamati was unsuccessful as the baton was dropped due to miscommunication.
Ghana finished bottom of the Heat but luckily had another shot at qualifying and successfully qualified for the Paris Olympics.
Earlier on Thursday morning at the Stade de France, the quartet: Abdul Rasheed Saminu, Benjamin Azamati, Ibrahim Fuseini, and Joseph Paul Amoah—recorded a time of 38.62 seconds in Heat 2.
A violation during the baton exchange resulted in Ghana’s disqualification.
This loss reminds Ghanaians of the last Olympics, when the team faced similar problems with the baton exchange and was eliminated.
