Favour Ofili is confirmed to compete in her first Diamond League final in Zurich after impressive outing in Lausanne.

Turkey-bound Favour Ofili continued with her impressive form this season by booking her Diamond League final spot, as Tobi Amusan finished fifth in Lausanne.

Needing a Top 2 or Top 3 finish to secure her spot in the Zurich final, Ofili clocked 22.31s to finish second behind Olympic bronze medalist Brittany Brown, who won in 22.23s.

With her runner-up finish, she earned seven points, bringing her total to 13 points, which was enough to clinch a coveted spot in her first Diamond League final next weekend.

Barring any last-minute withdrawals, she will now face a stacked field that includes Brown, Dina Asher-Smith, Shericka Jackson, Amy Hunt, Anavia Battle, and McKenzie Long.

While Ofili will be competing for the Diamond Trophy and a $30,000 top prize in the women’s 200m, Amusan, who finished fifth in the 100m hurdles in Lausanne, will be chasing her fourth Diamond League title in the 100m hurdles—one of the designated Diamond+ Disciplines, which offers an elevated $50,000 prize purse.
