Background

The women's 400 metres has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1964. Reigning Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo will not be able to defend her Olympic titles from 2016 and 2020, as an injury forced her to withdraw from the Bahamian Olympic trials, thus not allowing her to qualify individually for these games.
