Brianna McNeal (* 18th August 1991 in Miami as Brianna Rollins ) is an American athlete , referring to the 100-meter hurdles specializes.

In the US elimination competitions in 2013, she improved Gail Devers' almost 13-year-old national record by seven hundredths of a second with a time of 12.26 s . This also meant the third fastest time ever run in the 100-meter hurdles and earned her the status of favorite for the 2013 World Championships in Moscow . There Rollins was able to meet expectations and won the final with a time of 12.44 seconds ahead of the defending champion Sally Pearson (AUS) and Tiffany Porter (GBR).

At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 , Rollins won the gold medal with a time of 12.48 seconds ahead of her US teammates Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin .

Between April 2016 and September 2016, Rollins was not available for doping tests three times because their whereabouts did not match the information. It was therefore blocked for one year on the basis of Art. 2.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code and Art. 32.2 (d) of the IAAF Competition Rules in April 2017 with retroactive effect from December 19, 2016, whereby the between it and The United States Anti-Doping Agency mediating arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association stressed that they were not accused or suspected of using banned substances and that the discretionary penalty was exercised by minimizing them. In the same year, she completed eight doping tests during and outside of competitions, especially immediately after the missed appointments, without being guilty of anything. She was also not accused of intent to avoid doping controls.

She has been married to Bryce McNeal since 2017, whose name she adopted.

She completed her first race after the suspension on March 10, 2018 in Northridge . She made her comeback on the international stage in May at the Diamond League Meeting in Doha, where she finished second with 12.58s.
