Paris 2024 Olympics: Ajayi, Ashe advance into 100m men’s semis

Ghana’s Abdul-Rasheed Saminu came third in a time of 10.06s.

Ashe finished fourth in Heat 4 behind Jamaica’s Oblique Seville, Japan’s Abdul Hakim Sani Brown and Thailand’s Thurpool Bonboon.

Ashe, however, sealed his place in the semis after grabbing the last non-automatic spot.

In swimming, Adaku Nwandu finished second in Heat 6 of women’s 50m Freestyle behind Elizaveta Pecherskikh.

The 16-year-old, however, failed to make it to the final.
