Paris Olympics 2024: Nigeria’s Favour Ofili qualify for Women’s 200m semifinals



Nigeria’s Favour Ofili has qualified for the semifinals of women’s 200m at the ongoing Paris Olympics Games in France.

Ofili booked her place in the semi-final after executing a good race plan to win heat 6 in a time of 22.24s on Sunday morning.

She defeated Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, who finished 2nd in 22.28s and Gina Bass-Bittaye 3rd in 22.84s.

This is coming days after Ofili disclosed she would not take part in the 100m race at the Olympics.

The 21-year-old had explained that the reason was because of administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria, AFN, and the Nigerian Olympic Committee, NOC.
