Abeiku Jackson has qualified for the men’s 100m butterfly semi-finals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The 22-year-old swimmer completed his heat with a time of 53.60 to finish 12 out of the 47 who swam on Monday.
This evening, Jackson will return to the pool for the semi-finals, where he will attempt to advance to the final.
Jackson struggled in the 50m butterfly heats last week, failing to make the semi-finals, but he is determined to win a medal in the 100m butterfly event.
Also on Monday, boxer Joseph Commey advanced to the quarterfinals of the featherweight division after beating Vanuatu’s Allan Oaike.
The bout lasted 2 minutes 58 seconds.

After three days, Ghana has yet to appear on the medal table, which is led by Australia, which has won 60 medals. South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Namibia, Mauritius, and Kenya have all won medals.
Ghana won only one medal (bronze) at the previous edition, which was held in Gold Coast, Australia.
