Shaunae Millerr-Uibo may be the most physically talented woman athlete that I have ever met. I believe she is up there with Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Carolina Kluft.
We caught up at the presser for the adidas Boost Boston Games. Always smiling, and also a kean observer of all things around her, we will see Shaunae Miller Uibo, aka @hey_itsshaunae on social media focus on one event in Doha 2019.

With 2 races at 400m so far in 2019, she has run 49.04 and 49.54. I would be shocked as would others if she does not run 48.3-48.4 this year. I always have fun interviewing Shaunae because she has something to say. One of the class acts in our sport.
Oh, and one more thing: when her coach, Lance Brauman, someone not accustomed to hyperbole tells you that she will be running fast over 400m this year, and then, does the content coach smile thing, I put a note down in my notebook.

So, enjoy our six minutes with Shaunae Miller-Uibo, who we gave 8 questions that were had not prepared prior to the event. This was in honor of Australian writer Brian Lenton, who would never prepare questrions, but did show up with a six pack of an adult beverage. We did not any beverages, but there was humorous moments. We hope that you enjoy this interview with Shaunae Miller-Uibo.
