Azamati finished ninth in Semi-Final 1 on Sunday, posting a time of 10.17 seconds. Meanwhile, Saminu secured a seventh-place finish in Semi-Final 3 with a time of 10.05 seconds.
Azamati had advanced to the semi-finals after placing second in Heat 1 of the earlier round, recording a time of 10.08 seconds, just behind Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson. Despite their strong performances in the heats, neither athlete managed to secure a spot in the 100m final.
