Cindy Ofili was 4th place in the 2019 Doha World Championships in the 100m hurdles. She is also a two time British national champion at the 100m hurdles, including 2020. We spoke with Cindy last week on athletics during the pandemic, and how thepost ponement in the Olympics has challenged her in 2020.

On Feb. 21, 2021, Cindy Sember (nee Ofili ) went 8.02 in the heats, then 8.01 to take 3rd in the final at the American Track League Meeting #4.
