By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

World champions Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Grant Holloway and Noah Lyles were among the stars who competed Sunday in a street-style venue in Boston's Copley Square as the adidas Boost Boston Games made its return.

Miller-Uibo flashed her speed in the 200 meters, running a dominant 22.08 in a result that bolsters her stature as a gold-medal contender this summer at the Tokyo Olympic Games. 

Holloway won the 110-meter hurdles on a five-lane track on Boylston Street in the middle of downtown Boston, with skyscrapers looming overhead. He ran 13.20 and won by more than half a second. 

The adidas Boost Boston Games is the only street meet on the World Athletics Continental Tour Series.
