National 200m record-holder James Dadzie pulled out injured in the men’s 200m heats of the ongoing 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
The Ghanaian appeared to have pulled his hamstring during heat 4 of the 200m and was unable to complete the race.
Dadzie has been battling with a hamstring injury since setting the national record in April this year.
He was stretched off after pulling out of the race with the crowd applauding him.
