@itsgabbyt So sorry you had to experience this Gabby! We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. Despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.

@Iwanrunner is amongst an elite group of people who can say “Yeah I beat MJ in the 400” 😂 Once rivals, always friends!

@beau_throws @GrandSlamTrack @HowLao Appreciate you!

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

@VoicesofTnF @GrandSlamTrack Thank you! Team have been struggling a bit with that one.

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

@DuncanBoone_1 Might help your annual review. Might also get me to stop with the public accolades! 😆

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

@gammontrackclub @TheCW_Sports @peacock @GrandSlamTrack Might as well put it live on Pasifika TV. Which it is! PERIOD. Then on delay on ESPN. PERIOD PERIOD! 😂

People should know this. Sydney loves a challenge. If she’s doing long hurdles it’s because she wants to accomplish a specific time. Short hurdles. She wants to measure herself against the best 100 hurdlers or test herself over 100m flat. @GrandSlamTrack gives her the flexibility and opportunity to be challenged. Fans are the beneficiaries.

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

@__amandacc Thank you and your beautiful family for joining us!

[Bobby Thompson @Coach_BobbyT]

@kenny_bednarek your youngest fan and I cannot wait to watch you go for another @GrandSlamTrack title today!!

Not me at a restaurant in Hong Kong and I see a replay of @GrandSlamTrack playing on the tv.

[Grand Slam Track @GrandSlamTrack]

The model needs a revival. Let's change this game together 🤝

[Kyle Merber⏱️ @TheRealMerb]

Melissa, Roshawn, and Ackera were supposed to cheer the kids on during their races but it was cancelled due to weather. Once things were clear these three just stood outside the gate and did an unplanned 90 minute autograph signing — we appreciate these athletes so much!

[Kemal @kemal_e_forde]

Grand Slam Track is actually dispelling the narrative that athletes have to be in particular lanes to win races.

[Grand Slam Track @GrandSlamTrack]

What an impressive weekend from @annaahalll 👏

- 3rd in 400mH (54.43) and only her 1st 400mH since 2023!
- 2nd in 400m (51.68) and only her 2nd 400m since 2023!

Then she sticks arounds for the fans ❤️

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

Track photographers been doing this for the love of the sport. They also need to be rewarded for capturing and telling the story of our sport.

[Howard Lao @HowLao]

I know athletes being paid is the whole thing but I gotta say. The investment GST made into our media team also a refreshing change!!

-Paying us for our hard work
-Travel, hotel & meals
-Team merch
-Plus the photo credit on top

Thank you @GrandSlamTrack & @MJGold !!

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

People keep saying “Sponsor him”. Newsflash: He is sponsored! That’s the problem. For some athletes relying totally on a sponsor isn’t enough. You need to earn real money competing. Sponsorship should be only part of it.

[FloTrack @FloTrack]

A day in the life of Jacory Patterson, the fastest 400m runner in the world so far this year. He is unsponsored and also works at UPS.

One thing I want to do with @GrandSlamTrack is honor the legends who inspired the next! We started in Kingston with Asafa, Justin, and others. Here we have Gwen Torrence, @SanyaRichiRoss, @VCampbellBrown, and Valerie Brisco-Hooks. You will see legends honored at every slam.

[Michael Johnson @MJGold]

Some people criticized me for wanting @GrandSlamTrack to focus on rivals. They are rivals! 🎥@FloTrack
