Nigerian sprint star Favour Ofili has withdrawn from the 2025 Racers Grand Prix, scheduled for Saturday, June 7, at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.
Her withdrawal was confirmed by Jamaican track and field analyst Kemal Forde, who announced that Bahamian sprinter Anthonique Strachan and American Deajah Stevens have been added to the women’s 200m event to replace Ofili.
“Anthonique Strachan and Deajah Stevens have been added to the women’s 200m at this Saturday’s Racers Grand Prix as Nigeria’s Favour Ofili has scratched,” Forde said.
Despite her withdrawal, Ofili has been in remarkable form this season.
In May, she made headlines at the Adidas Atlanta City Games by setting a new world record in the women’s 150m, clocking 15.85 seconds to surpass the previous record of 16.23 seconds held by Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo.
