Duo set to light it up

OLYMPIC champion Elaine Thompson and world bronze medallist Shaunae Miller-Uibo are shaping up for what could be the highlight of the Commonwealth Games, cruising into the semi-finals of the 200m at Carrara Stadium.

Miller-Uibo says she’s here to have fun in the 200m while using it to improve her opening speed in the 400m which she won spectacularly at the Rio Olympics when she dived across the finish line to beat American Alyson Felix.

But the Bahamian looked serious in yesterday’s heats, comfortably winning in 22.95 seconds, just ahead of Thompson clocked 23.09 in hers.

“It all went to plan, I think I did a pretty good job today,” Miller-Uibo said after her heat.
