"I ended up winning the overall championship for my division and, on reflection, that is the moment I started to fall in love with the sport. I was so inspired I went home to my father and said, 'I want to one day be a Golden Girl'. I think they laughed at me at first, but that's what I am now doing."

Philosophy:

"I always tell myself that when I fall out of love with it [athletics] or I am not having fun with it, I will hang it up. But I'm having so much fun with it and I'm learning so much about it. It's something that I always wanted to do as a young kid and now I'm living out my dream, so I'm really happy." (ontrackmanagement.com, 05 Sep 2018)

LOSING BALANCE IN RIO, WORLDS
She won gold in the 400m at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after appearing to lose her balance a few metres from the finish and falling over the line, seven hundredths of a second ahead of US athlete Allyson Felix. "As I was coming towards the line I started losing my balance and I just thought to myself, 'Please don't fall'. Moments later, I fell. I didn't know whether I had won the race. I've never done it [falling over the line] before." The following year, she said she lost her balance in the 400m final at the world championships after glancing at the big screen 20 metres from the finish line, causing her to pull up, and drop from first place to fifth. "A lot of people thought I hurt my hamstring or something along that line, but it was kind of weird, I had the race under control and I looked up at the screen and misplaced my foot and completely lost balance." (worldathletics.org, 16 Jan 2018; the guardian.com, 16 Aug 2016; theguardian.com, 10 Aug 2017)

FOUNDATION
In 2016 she and husband Maicel Uibo launched the Miller-Uibo Foundation, which provides school supplies, scholarships and mentorships for underprivileged youth in the Bahamas. She travels to schools throughout the Bahamas to speak to children. "I try to encourage them in anything they're doing. Inspiring little kids brings joy to me because I know I was once there, as well. I believe that it's the little things in life that count the most, and so it fills my heart to know that just by doing what I love, I can inspire others to do the same." (bustle.com, 01 Sep 2019)
