 runner who specializes in the middle distance events.

She started the 2011 season in spectacular fashion, winning excessively in the 1500m during the Diamond League. At the 2011 IAAF World Championships in Daegu, she entered the 1500m final as the overwhelming favorite, however, after 1050 meters she was tripped by another runner and ended up placing second to last. Uceny made up for that disappointment by winning the 1500m at the Brussels Diamond League Meet, outsprinting a loaded field and setting the world leading time of 4:00.06, with a closing 400m of 61 seconds.
