These upcoming competitions will be a vital part of their preparations as they sharpen their skills and fine tune their performances ahead of the World Relays. The pressure of competing against the best in the world at events like the Miami Grand Slam and the Xiamen Diamond League will provide them with the ideal platform to get into top form for the World Relays.
With the eyes of the athletics world on them, Ofili and Amusan will use these events to refine their techniques and build confidence as they aim for gold in the World Relays and beyond. For these two Nigerian stars, the journey to global domination continues, and every race, every competition, is a step closer to achieving their dreams.
