The build-up to the Olympic Games in Paris is looking good for Nigerian athletes, who continue to deliver great performances ahead of the highly anticipated global sporting event.

United States-Based Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili was one among the top performers in the Adidas Atlanta City Games on Saturday, breaking the African record in the women's 150m sprint.

She ran a stunning 16.30 seconds (with a wind gauge measurement of 0.0 m/s), demonstrating her sheer skill despite having a slight stumble at the starting blocks.

The 21-year-old has surpassed Cote d'Ivoire's Marie-Josee ta Lou-Smith's record of 16.60 seconds as Africa's number one in the unusual event.
