After Turkey Switch Snub, Favour Ofili Delivers Season’s Best 200m in Texas

Nigerian sprint star Favour Ofili ran a season’s best 22.15 seconds in the women’s 200m at the Lone Star Grand Prix in Texas. She placed third behind Olympic champion Gabby Thomas (21.70s) and Kayla White (22.07s) in just her second 200m race of the season. Weeks earlier, World Athletics rejected her bid to switch allegiance to Turkey, confirming she remains eligible to represent Nigeria. The 23-year-old’s performance under the Nigerian flag signals a strong comeback as she prepares for upcoming international events.
