Ghanaian sprinter Joseph Paul Amoah won 200m bronze at the 2022 Commonwealth Games with an absolutely brilliant run on Saturday.

Amoah finished third in the final in 20.49seconds, with the commentator describing his performance as the “run of his lifetime.” It’s his first Commonwealth medal.

Jereem Richards of Trinidad defended his title with a stunning Games record and a personal best of 19.80seconds.

He was neck-and-neck with second-placed Zharnel Hughes of England before finding that magnificent extra gear to cross the finish line.

Amoah’s medal is Ghana’s first in the men’s 200m at the Games since 1974.
