Global silver medallists Laura Muir and Elle St Pierre – the two most recent winners of the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games – will toe the line again at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting on 11 February.
Olympic 1500m silver medallist Muir made her Wanamaker Mile debut last year, winning in 4:20.15. The 2022 world bronze medallist holds the British record for the distance outdoors with the 4:15.24 she clocked last year.
