Ghana’s 4×100 relay team finished fifth at the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA to set a new national record.

The history making quartet of Sean Safo Antwi, Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Oduro Manu and Joseph Paul Amoah, produced a national record of 38.07 in the process.

Great Britain quartet won 4x100m bronze in the final race of day nine of the World Championships.

With Jona Efoloko, 22, preferred to Adam Gemili on the opening leg and Reece Prescod on the anchor, Britain held off Jamaica to ensure a medal.

Canada exploited a slack final changeover from the United States to take gold ahead of their neighbour.

A mystery leg injury to Dina Asher-Smith cost Great Britain’s women a shot at a medal in the 4x100m relay.

The 26-year-old, who finished fourth in the 100m and won bronze over 200m during a hectic schedule in Oregon, hobbled through the final 15m of her third leg.
