Ghanaians are venting their anger and disappointment after the country’s 4x100m relay team was disqualified from the Paris 2024 Olympics, sparking widespread frustration among citizens.
Although the Ghanaian 4x100m relay team initially finished sixth, their achievement was short-lived as they were subsequently disqualified from the competition due to an infraction involving a faulty baton exchange during the race.
The disqualification of the relay team is a crushing blow to Ghana’s Olympic aspirations, as they were the country’s final chance for a medal after struggling in other events.
Despite a tough competition against powerhouses like Canada, China, Jamaica, France, and Liberia, the team had hoped to make it to the final, but ultimately fell short.
Ghana’s Olympic journey has concluded on a disappointing note, with the relay team’s disqualification being the latest setback in a series of unfulfilled hopes, including underwhelming performances in swimming, high jump, and the 100m men’s sprint, which all failed to meet expectations.
