News summary

Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili has expressed her frustration after being omitted from the 100m race at the Paris 2024 Olympics due to alleged administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) and the Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC). Despite qualifying for the event, Ofili was not entered by the AFN, a situation she describes as a repeat of her experience during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where similar issues led to the exclusion of 14 Nigerian athletes. In a series of social media posts, she demanded accountability from both organizations, questioning their trustworthiness. Ofili, who hopes to compete in the 200m event, emphasized that she has dedicated four years to prepare for this opportunity. Her exclusion is seen as a significant blow to Nigeria's chances for medals at the Olympics, as she has been a strong performer leading up to the games. This incident highlights ongoing administrative challenges within Nigerian athletics.
