Michael Johnson Gives Another Update On Building Grand Slam Track + Reaction To Signing More Athletes

"Paris revealed a lot to us, and we got busy talking to athletes and agents, helping them understand what we're trying to build and how they can be a part of this. It's been a great response to what we're building, we always thought that would be the case. The proof now is that athletes have shown they are excited about this and are excited to be a part of the league."

Anderson Emerole caught up with Grand Slam Track Commissioner Michael Johnson live from Brussels to catch up on recent developments with his new professional track league, Grand Slam Track. Michael shares his excitement for the growing roster of top-tier racers and the positive response from athletes eager to join the league.

He also discusses the role of broadcasting in expanding the sport's reach, including ongoing negotiations for the best partners, and the importance of including new technology and content creators.

Michael also shares insights on upcoming host cities, the balance between Grand Slam Track and other major leagues, and the importance of securing high-profile athletes. Tune in for a look at how Grand Slam Track is shaping the future of athletics.
