(Reuters) - Bahama s Shaunae Miller-Uibo has hit out at athletics chiefs over the scheduling of races that could derail her hopes of becoming the first runner to claim a 200-400 metres Olympic double in 25 years.
The women s 400m semi-finals at this year s Tokyo Games are scheduled to take place two days before the final, as compared to the men s event, which has an extra day s gap.
An overlap of the 200m and 400m races also mean Miller-Uibo, who won gold in the 400m at the Rio Olympics five years ago, will have to run twice on successive days if she wants to secure the double, while the men will only have to do so once.
