BAHAMIAN Shaunae Miller-Uibo made history when she won the Women’s 400m title at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene on Friday.

Miller-Uibo sped to a world leading 49.11 to win her maiden world title, with the Dominican Republic’s Marileidy Paulino (49.60) and Barbados’ Sada Williams (49.75) coming second and third to complete a Caribbean sweep of the medals.

In the process, 28-year-old Miller-Uibo became the first woman in the history of Track & Field to complete the world event wheel.
“Congratulations to Shaunae on winning the 400m at the World Championships!! She is the first woman in history to complete the world event wheel. World youth, world juniors, indoor world champion, 2x Olympic champion and now world outdoor champion!” said her coach Lance Brauman in an Instagram post.

The process started all the way back in 2010 when Miller-Uibo ran 52.20 for gold at the World Junior Championships in Moncton, Canada.
A year later, she won gold at the World Youth Championships in Lille, France with a 51.84 performance.

The third piece of the puzzle was completed in 2016 when Miller-Uibo sped to 49.44 to win the first of her back-to-back Olympic gold medals.
After years of wondering if she’d ever achieve this unprecedented feat, the year 2022 saw her finally complete the puzzle.

It started at the World Indoor Championships in Serbia in March where she did 50.31 to win gold and ended at the World Championships in Eugene on Thursday where, after silver medals in 2015 and 2019, the Bahamian superstar finally won an elusive world title to complete the wheel. (Sportsmax)
