Gabby Thomas might have ruled the Paris Olympics. But her competition is picking up pace rapidly. And she got a first hand experience of the same. Thomas, who was slated to compete in the 100m final of the ATX Sprint Classic 2025, had a forgettable experience. Coming in as the heavy favorite, Thomas started things off on a positive note. Unfortunately, as the race went on, Thomas quickly realized that there is a lot of work for her to do.
Blazing to the finish line was Favour Ofili. Dropping a blitzkrieg timing of 10.78s, Ofili made a strong statement, picking up the all important triumph. On the contrary, Thomas finished second clocking a wind aided 10.95s. Completing the podium was Kayla White, who came in third at 10.97s. Confirming the timing on X was Travis Miller. The post read, “Favour Ofili 10.78 (+3.1) to win ATX Sprint Classic 100m final!@FavOfili Gabby Thomas with yet another wind aided sub-11 in second.”
