Ghanaian sprinter, Benjamin Azamati has won gold in the men’s 100m race at the Paris Diamond League.
Azamati ran a time of 10.25s, finishing the race ahead of Mouhamadou Fall and Jimmy Vicaut, both from France.
Azamati’s winning time was slower than his time in his last race in Oslo, where he ran 10.15s to finish fourth.
The former University of Ghana student will also compete in the 200m race, where he will come up against reigning Olympic champion, Andre de Grasse.
It is certainly a double joy for Azamati who has just been signed by AISCS for the next 2 and half years.
The athlete, now the face of AISCS Global Sprints, gave his competitors more to think about in the future with this latest performance.
It was hot in Paris as athletes had to run into a headwind of -1.6.
Despite stumbling at the very start of the race, Benjamin managed to get over the line.
His compatriot, Sean Safo Antwi came in sixth with a time of 10.45s.
The Diamond League meetings are part of preparations for the upcoming World Athletics Championship and Commonwealth Games.
