A former heptathlon standout as a junior Emma Nwofor has since focused her attention on the hurdles on her way to senior international recognition.

The former Brunel University student moved to the States in 2019 where she competed for Arkansas State Red Wolves on the NCAA circuit.

By 2021, Nwofor had prioritised hurdles and made her senior international debut over 60m hurdles at the European Indoors in Poland.

Five years later, Nwofor earned selection for the World Indoors, also in Torun, Poland, missing out on a place in the semi-finals by just one hundredth of a second.

Following a runners-up spot over 100m hurdles at the 2026 UK Athletics Championships, she is now set for her Commonwealth debut.
