Fifteen-point-eight-five seconds.

That’s how long it took for a girl from Nigeria to make the rest of the world blink and suddenly realize they were looking at history.

At the 2025 Adidas Atlanta City Games, Favour Chukwuka Ofili did more than win a race. She broke time itself, shattering the women’s 150m world best with a blistering 15.85s on a straight track and with a legal wind (2.0 m/s). And in case you’re wondering, yeah, that makes her the first woman in recorded history to go sub-16 in the event. Ever!

That’s not just speed. That’s science-fiction.

Before this moment, the record was held by Olympic champ Shaunae Miller-Uibo of The Bahamas a solid 16.23s back in 2018. Fast? Absolutely. Untouchable? Not anymore.

Favour Ofili didn’t just touch it. She dusted it.

Tamari Davis of the U.S. came second in 16.14s also under the old record but let’s be clear: this was Ofili’s stage. Her exclamation point. Her Nigerian thunderclap in the heart of Atlanta.

And look, the 150m isn’t your everyday race. It’s a rebel distance—unofficial, unruly, ungoverned by the stiff suits of World Athletics. No medals. No Olympics. No “official” records. Just vibes and velocity. And yet, somehow, this is where Favour decided to leave her mark.

And what a mark.

Because when you run 15.85 in a race that’s not supposed to matter, the world pays attention anyway. They have to.

They’ll call it a “world best.” We’ll call it what it is:

A fing revolution.
