Azamati races to wind-aided 9.93secs in California – Nsemkeka
Ghana’s 100m record holder, Benjamin Azamati, raced to an impressive wind assisted 9.93secs 100m win in California on Friday.
The result, although not considered legal due to the wind reading of +2.9m/s, is the latest in his bright start to the outdoor season.
The Paris Olympics semifinalist has run 10.07 and 10.02 in his last two meets, an incredible improvement from last season, and reminiscent of his 2022 form that saw him set the existing national record of 9.90secs.
The 27 year old will however not be part of Ghana’s Relay Team for the 2025 World Relays, after opting out due to congestion.
