Husband and wife Uibo and Miller-Uibo each win silver
Estonian decathlete Maicel Uibo and his wife, Bahamian runner Shaunae Miller-Uibo, had two reasons to celebrate after they each won a silver medal at the world athletics championships on Thursday.
Miller-Uibo, the 2016 Olympic gold medalist who had been favorite to win the 400 meters world title in Doha, finished second after Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain stunned her by running the third fastest time in the event’s history.
As Miller-Uibo crossed the finish line, her husband was preparing to run the 1,500 meters, the tenth and final event in the decathlon. He came in third, giving him the overall silver medal.

On how she felt to medal on the same night with her husband:
“It was a blessing, especially since we both won medals. We both worked hard this year, I am really happy about him especially.”
On when she tought having Naser in front her:
“I think I let her get away for me a little too much at the curve. That was a great race. I came home a little bit stronger. It wasn’t enough, but 48.3? I cannot complain about that. I came knowing I could have dropped 48-low, I just did that and I am very happy.”
On the last metres of the race:
“It was a pretty long season but it was a great one overall. Coming at the curve when I saw the distance, I saw I was far away, but I had a long straight coming home, I used it but this wasn’t good enough I guess, but I kept it all roll, but 48.16… it’s really impressive and I am really happy about her.”
On if she took the right decision to do the 400m instead of the 200m and on if she had balanced her training for the two events:
“I think I made the right decision. The 400m is my favourite event. I think I was a little disappointed to see how many people pulled out in the 200m, it was not so competitive as the 400m, but I am pretty happy I chose the 400m. We’ve been dreaming for the 400m all season long.
“We talked about it with Maical we are family, we always share our dreams, we push one another to do our best. I am very proud of him of how he competed and I am sure he is proud of me. We didn’t get the gold, but next time.”
On how the Bahamians treat Maical:
“They love him, every time he comes at home they called him a Caribbean man.”
On when she realised that the 400m and the final decathlon event are at the same time:
“We didn’t realise only until a few weeks before we headed down here. We knew it was going to be a little difficult because it will be hard to watch each other competing, but we made our way. Even earlier today I watched him compete and my coach sai ‘OK Shaunae put away the phone’. Hopefully next year we don’t collide but it was a great experience this time, with both of us medalling celebrating together.”
On if the world record is possible:
“Definitely I am not going to say no, I am so close to it and I think, in space time we can definitely get it. It’s still a little further away, 47.6, but I think it’s in our sight.”
On how much faster she can go this season in the 200m, after setting PB this season:
“I am not really sure, but I’ve never really done much in the 200m, so to see a 21.7 that was really impressive for myself. At some point later on in my career I think I will do more 200s than 400s.”
On if she’s planning to do the heptathlon:
“I am definitely looking for on doing it in one of these years. Maical was a big influence. It will be a little fun to try it and see how it goes.”
