Ghanaian teen celebrates record run

Azamati breaks 100m Olympic record

Sports Brief previously reported that for the first time in more than two decades, Ghana had her 100-meter Olympic Games record broken by Benjamin Azmati.

The sprinter broke Leo Myles-Mills’ long-standing national record for the country over the 100m distance and booked a place at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

This also made Azamati the first man to go under 10s in 2021 worldwide, and the third Ghanaian to book a ticket to Tokyo after Joseph Paul Amoah and Nadia Eke.

Bolt keen on athletics return

Sports Brief previously reported on Usain Bolt seeking a return to athletics six years after retiring as a sprinter.

The Jamaican legend believes he can help to restore the charisma he believes has been drained out of the sport.

By 2017, Bolt was an 8-time Olympic gold medalist, 11-time world champ, and still holds multiple world records.
