There is still uncertainty over whether Shaunae Miller-Uibo will forego defending her Olympic title and take on the 200m in Tokyo this summer.

The athlete is yet to make public her decision after the International Committee rejected a request to alter the schedule to allow her to compete at both events.

What is certain, however, is that whichever event she chooses, she will most likely be favoured to win, especially after her 22.03 outdoor opener, the fastest time in the world this year over 200 metres at the Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in Clermont, Florida on Sunday (April 4).

In what was her fastest-ever wind-legal opener, the soon-to-be 27-year-old Bahamian, was the class of the field winning by more than half-second over the USA’s Quanera Haynes, who crossed the finish line in 22.68.

Lynna Irby, who ran a personal best of 11.20 in the 100m at the meet, was third in 22.75.

Natalliah Whyte of Jamaica finished just outside the medal placings in 23.28.

Miller was one of two Bahamians who won at the meet. Purdue alum Devynne Charlton won the 100m hurdles in a wind-assisted 13.08s.

Jereem Richards, who recently switched training camps and now trains in Clermont, Florida, was third in the men’s 200m in 20.37 seconds. He just missed out on second place that was awarded to the USA’s Joesphus Lyles, brother of 2019 200m world champion, Noah Lyles.

Josephus was given a time of 20.361, to Richards 20.362.

All of that happened behind Erriyon Knighton who won the event in 20.31.

Richards’ compatriot Machel Cedenio was farther back in five and timed in 20.84, just 0.02s ahead of Antigua’s Cejhae Green who finished sixth.

The men’s 110m hurdles was won by Nicholas Anderson in 13.49. He held off the challenge of Jamaica’s Andrew Riley, who took second place in a time of 13.60.

Wellington ZaZa clocked 13.74 for third.
