Two time Olympian and sprint sensation Ashe Favour stormed to victory at the 2025 Niger Delta Sports Festival in Uyo, marking a significant season opener. With ease and elegance, he clocked 10.21 seconds in the heats, barely breaking a sweat. But it was in the finals that the real statement came a blistering 10.16 seconds that reminded everyone why he’s one of Nigeria’s premier sprinters. The crowd at the God’swill Akpabio International Stadium roared in celebration as Ashe crossed the finish line, securing yet another gold to his name.
Ashe’s journey has been one of grit, global exposure, and homegrown pride. From representing Nigeria on the grandest stage at the Olympics not once but twice to pushing the best of the best in the U.S. collegiate system as an NCAA runner up, his resume speaks of excellence and consistency. His personal best of 9.94 seconds places him among an elite class of sub 10 Nigerian sprinters, and his back to back National Championship titles have only solidified his status as a national treasure in athletics.
Now adding the Niger Delta Sports Festival crown to his growing list of achievements, Ashe is proving that he’s not just a sprinter for the big moments, but a constant force wherever he competes. His performance in Uyo is more than just a win, it’s a message that he’s still improving, still hungry, and very much in the conversation for future global medals.
With Paris still fresh in the memory and the World Championships looming, Ashe Favour’s season is off to a thunderous start and all eyes will be on what he does next.
