Favour Ofili finished sixth in the final of the women\u2019s 200 meters at the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21-year-old finished far behind the leading pack in the final on Tuesday at the Stade de France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ofili dipped 22.24 seconds in a distanced position behind Gabrielle Thomas of the US, who took the title after clocking 21.83 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Lucia\u2019s Julien Alfred took the silver medal with 22.08 seconds, and USA\u2019s Brittany Brown completed the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great Britain\u2019s Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita finished in fourth and fifth, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ofili had qualified for the final with the third-best time overall in the semi-finals, but she was out-of-depth against her fellow finalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She became the first Nigerian to compete in the event\u2019s final at the games since Mary Onyali did so in Atlanta \u201996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Ofili was outraced in the showdown. Although she was off the block sharply after the gun, she faded as the race proceeded into the final 100m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her focus will now shift to the women\u2019s 4\u00d7100 relay billed to commence on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
