Favour Ofili Denied 100m Spot At Paris Olympics


Nigerian sprinter, FAVOUR OFILI, has said she will not be competing in the 100-metre race at the ongoing Olympics in Paris due to administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria and the Nigerian Olympic Committee.

 

While expressing her frustration in a series of tweets, OFILI questioned the trustworthiness of both organisations, and called for accountability from those responsible for her lost opportunity.

 

Despite qualifying for the event, the athlete disclosed that the officials did not enter her, marking a repeat of the previous Olympics, Tokyo 2020.

 

The 21-year-old was one of 10 Nigerian athletes declared ineligible for the Olympics by the Athletics Integrity Unit because they were not tested rigorously enough in the run-up to Tokyo 2020.
