Following her performance in the women’s 200m final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Favour Ofili has come to terms with the disappointment of not securing a medal.
In the final event held on Tuesday night, Ofili finished in sixth place with a time of 22.24s.
The gold medal was claimed by USA’s Gabrielle Thomas in 21.83s, while Julien Alfred secured silver with a time of 22.08s, and Brittany Brown took home the bronze in 22.20s.
Despite it being her Olympic debut, the 21-year-old expressed gratitude on social media towards her coach for the support.
“Despite receiving unexpected news a few days ago, I aimed to be mentally prepared. Starting from lane 9, I gave my best effort. Easy or hard, not everyone can do it,” she shared on X.
Ofili is now looking ahead to the women’s 400x100m event, expressing optimism with the statement, “Next up, 4×100. Trusting in God,” she added.
