Ghana’s 4x100m relay team delivered an impressive performance at the World Athletics Championships 2025, narrowly missing out on a medal after finishing fourth with a time of 37.93 seconds.
In a thrilling final, the Netherlands edged Ghana to secure the bronze medal, while the USA dominated to win gold with a blistering run. Canada claimed silver, showcasing strength and speed in their baton exchanges. Ghana’s quartet crossed the line just milliseconds behind the Dutch team, missing the podium by the slimmest of margins.
Despite the disappointment, the result marks a significant improvement for Team Ghana, who finished fifth at their previous World Championships appearance. This upward trajectory highlights the nation’s growing potential in global athletics.
Speaking after the race, Benjamin Azamati told Sporty TV:
“I think we tried our best. Not the best conditions. Our last world championships final we got fifth and this time we got fourth. I’m not saying we are settling for that, but at least it’s a positive thing.”
The team’s 37.93-second finish underlines their growth and determination to challenge the world’s best sprinters. Their display in Tokyo has not only energized Ghanaian fans but also showcased that the country’s sprinting program is on the rise.
Key Highlights:
- USA – Gold

Though a medal slipped away, Ghana’s relay team has proven they are closing the gap with the world’s elite. With continued investment and training, the future looks bright for Ghanaian athletics, as the nation sets its sights on upcoming competitions.
