Tom Jones Memorial Results Today: Favour Ofili qualifies for Paris Olympics after clinching gold in the women's 200m | Day 1

The first day of the Tom Jones Memorial is over, but only after treating fans to some exhilarating races and action all around. Amidst the busy schedule, the standout events for the day were the men's and women's 200m Olympic Development races, and they sure lived up to the hype.

First on track were the women, with Nigeria's Favour Ofili taking the win from lane six, as she clocked an impressive 22.33 seconds. The race for silver and bronze was intense, with Anavia Battle running a 22.56, and Ida Karstoft rounding out the podium with a 22.60.

The men's 200m sprint at the Tom Jones Memorial saw some surprising results, with the likes of PJ Austin and Ronnie Baker failing to make it to the podium. Instead, it was 25-year-old Courtney Lindsey who stormed to the gold. Lindsey was the only one in the field to dip below the 20 second mark, and his 19.88 marks a new world lead for the event.

In second place was Olympian and former NCAA Champion Joseph Fanbullah, while China's Xie Zhenye came in third.
