Rio Olympic champions Shaunae Miller of Bahamas, Omar McLeod of Jamaica, Derek Drouin of Canada and Katerine Stefanidi of Greece won titles Saturday at the 110th Millrose Games indoor athletics meet.

Miller, who dove across the line to edge American Allyson Felix for 400-metre gold last year in Rio, won the 300m in 35.71 seconds, matching the sixth-best time at the distance to beat American Ashley Spencer by .56 of a second.

"This is an amazing feeling," Miller said. "It's a nice start to 2017, a good win. I'm looking forward to it."

McLeod, the reigning Olympic 110 hurdles champion and world indoor 60 hurdles king, took the 60 hurdles in 7.46 with American Aleec Harris second in 7.56.

That's a new NR for Tyrone Smith as well. Good for him, he was disappointed with his Rio performance.

Kim Collins continues to defy Father Time smile
