Sprint Darling de Nigeria, Poyls ofili is ready to illuminate the track and make history tonight, while making his debut highly anticipated in the Grand Slam Track League.
Located in the context of the Ansin sports complex in Miramar, Florida, bets could not be higher: Global Glory, a $ 100,000 prize and the opportunity to consolidate its place among the world’s elite sprinters.
Double problem: Ofili to compete in 100m and 200m
Ofili will compete in the short sprint events of 100 my 200m, where the best of the best will collide in a three -day confrontation.
The 100 -meter race takes place tonight, on Friday, May 2 at 11:52 pm, Nigerian time, while 200 meters are scheduled just after midnight on Sunday, May 4.
This is the first appearance of Ofili in the Grand Slam Track League, making it the first Nigerian of full blood to compete in the series, after its last minute withdrawal of the opening stage in Kingston, Jamaica.
The alignment full of stars waiting
It will not be a walk in the park. Ofili faces a formidable field with:
Gabby Thomas – 200m Olympic Champion and Favorite of the Crowd
Daryll Neita – British Sprint Queen
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, Brittany Brown, Jacio Sears, Kayla White and Tamari Davis-Arsenal de Elite Sprinting of America
Thomas, who competed in the 200 My 400m in Kingston, will now test his tempering in the shortest sprints, while Melissa Jefferson, one of the fastest in the world, more than 100m, is entering the specialty of Ofili: the 200m.
Ofili form: a promising prelude
The holder of the 200m national record is aimed at this confrontation of an impressive opening of the 22.34s season (+0.2 m/s wind) in Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Florida, where he finished second behind the Olympic champion of Santo Lucian Julien Alfred (21.88s) and in front of the American Tamari Davis (22.37s).
In addition to prestige, the $ 100,000 prize per event is one of the richest athletics on the track: add real bets and real reaisas for consistency, sand and gross speed.
For the favor of Ofili, tonight, she carries the hopes of a nation, and if her legs speak, we could witness the dawn of a new sprint era.
