Adidas Atlanta City Games: Favour Ofili runs fastest women's 150m in history
- Favour Ofili, a 22-year-old Nigerian sprinter, set a new world record in the women's 150m with a time of 15.85 seconds during the 2025 street meet held at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, USA.
- Ofili's record-breaking run followed Shaunae Miller-Uibo’s previous 16.23s record set in 2018, and her performance headlined a meet featuring top global athletes in an open-air, fan-friendly setting.
- The event, held on Saturday, also included Tobi Amusan finishing second in her heat with 12.53s behind American Keni Harrison’s 12.44s, while Nigerian sprinters showed strong overall performances.
- Ofili became the first woman to run under 16 seconds for 150m and earned recognition alongside compatriot Amusan, a world record holder in 100m hurdles, ahead of the upcoming World Championships in Tokyo.
- This historic achievement at a high-profile street-style meet suggests Ofili is a major contender for elite sprint titles and highlights Nigeria's growing prominence in international athletics.
