Praising the accurate comparisons between Favour Ofili and Gabby Thomas
The continuous comparisons between Favour Ofili and Gabby Thomas have accelerated a new angle to the future races that are going to be held during the Olympic season. While the Paris Olympics are just a few months away now, fans cannot stop collating the two-star athletes from Nigeria and America, respectively.
The analysis was taken away by fans writing, “Ofili is likely to always be the better 100m runner but Gabby is much stronger the further the race goes.” While some from the audience believed Gabby Thomas was their favorite pick, they declared their crystal-clear opinions on the web. It read, “Babe, Gabby is clear! lol” and “Since when has Ofili been on Gabby’s level has she even broken 22 seconds more than once yet.”
Others were skeptical of the close truffle between them. “I hope Gabby goes back to review this race. I think that the drive phase needs more work. A speed queen for sure.” and “I mean, we don’t know what Favour is capable of right now.. injuries robbed her of one full year.”, they commented on the American athlete not being overconfident of her skill and the Nigerian’s last injury that quaffed her entire year.
