US athletics great Michael Johnson on Tuesday announced the launch of a new track league which will see the "best of the best" compete against each other at four elite meetings every year from 2025.
Johnson, a four-time Olympic gold medallist turned commentator for the BBC, said Grand Slam Track would debut in April of 2025 with two three-day meetings in the United States and two international stops, with prize money of around $3 million on offer at each meeting.
