Azamati clocks 9.98s to secure Tokyo 2025 World Championships spot



Ghana’s national 100m record holder, Benjamin Azamati, secured qualification for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo after posting a time of 9.98s (+1.2 m/s) at the McNabb Sprint Series.

The performance marks a season best for the sprinter and places him in a tie for 17th on the official men’s 100m qualification list for the global event. It is Azamati’s fourth career sub-10s performance under legal wind conditions.

Azamati, who holds the distinction as Ghana’s fastest man over 100 metres, is also a key member of the national 4×100m relay team.

He ran the back straight when Ghana set the current national record of 38.07s during the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

The 26-year-old reached the semi-finals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and recently opted out of Ghana’s relay team for the Guangzhou World Relays to concentrate on qualifying in the individual 100m event—a goal he has now achieved.

Ghana has recorded nine wind-legal sub-10s performances in history. Azamati accounts for four, while Leo Myles-Mills and Aziz Zakari each have two, and Joseph Paul Amoah has one.
