Miller-Uibo won the Olympic title in 2016 and successfully defended it in 2020 at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

She won her first World title last year at the World Championships in Oregon after winning silver medals at 2015 World Championships in Beijing and the 2019 edition in Doha.

The 28-year-old also won the 400m title at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade last year, and has four Diamond League titles in her name.

Miller-Uibo has been the world's best and most consistent quarter-miler since 2016, winning all global titles available, and also winning medals in the 200m.
