Almost every time that I interview Shaunae Miller-Uibo, I ask her about the heptathlon. Will she consider the multi events? Each time, Shaunae Miller-Uibo smiles, and says, she will speak with her coach, and someday, perhaps in the future.
Well, the future is getting closer…in reality, Shaunae has done every event, but perhaps the pole vault.

SMU thinks heptathlon
NASSAU (BAH): Shaunae Miller-Uibo has suggested she would like to try out the combined events after the Tokyo Olympics, informs BBC Sport. “I’m jumping the gun saying this because I haven’t finished discussions with my coach. But at the next indoors, I am going to be looking at doing the pentathlon and then maybe testing out a heptathlon. I’m not very good at javelin so I would have to put in a whole lot of work,” she said. Miller-Uibo will focus exclusively on the 200m in Tokyo.
