2026 Glasgow: Ghana lose historic bronze medal after Canada win appeal
Ghana's men's 4x100m relay team lost a historic bronze medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after Canada successfully overturned its disqualification following a protest. Canada had originally finished second in the final but was initially disqualified by race officials. This allowed Nigeria to move into the silver medal position and Ghana's quartet of Joseph Paul Amoah, Ibrahim Fuseini, Barnabas Aggerh, and Benjamin Azamati were elevated from fourth to bronze.
The Ghanaian team had clocked 38.13 seconds in the final, a performance that appeared to secure the country's first men's 4x100m relay medal at the Commonwealth Games since 1974. However, Canada's successful appeal reinstated them into second place. The final standings were restored with Australia keeping the gold medal, Canada taking silver, and Nigeria reclaiming the bronze medal. Ghana therefore dropped back to fourth place, missing out on an end to a 52-year wait for a men's 4x100m relay podium finish. The Ghanaian quartet recorded a season-leading time of 38.13 seconds in the final.
