According to a report from @Sportico, four-time Olympic gold medalist @MJGold is partnering with @WinnersAlliance to develop a new track league that “aims to better engage existing fans by providing a TV-friendly product to promote the sport’s biggest stars and draw new audiences through unique storytelling.”
Johnson told Sportico that he is already in talks with potential media partners, sponsors and investors. Plans are to debut in 2025.
Winners Alliance is also in discussions with World Athletics since Johnson does not view his league as a competitor.
🗣️ “The track has been such a big part of my life,” Johnson told Sportico. “And I’m in a position to help this sport get back to where it should be.”

I feel the best case scenario is to just follow and watch everything @CitiusMag. I followed religiously during the Summer of Hayward, and I’m looking forward to it again
Welcome to Call Room Banter, my new podcast with co-host @jessicadgabriel !
We talk track all the time so we decided to record it. Ep. 1 focuses on US Champs & predictions for who makes the team. I love to stir the pot - prepare for hot takes.

At a time when all-time greats like Faith Kipyegon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Mondo Duplantis, Ryan Crouser and others are at the peak of their powers, it's a travesty that athletics is struggling like it is. The sport doesn't struggle for superstars.

@HowLao HowLao, would love to have the couch photo for future Magic Boost use. Nothing specific in mind right now, just don’t want to “lose” track of it. Would pay for use, of course, how would you like to proceed?
New look. New home. Same track and field nerds.
We’re pumped to unveil the CITIUS MAG rebrand.

This month, we celebrate 2️⃣ years of The Magic Boost ✨
Our vision is a track and field media landscape where those covering the sport more fully reflect and resemble the athletes competing in the stadium: youthful, diverse, and innovative.

@McKirdyTrained@usatf Confusing, yes. Misleading, probably. You’re experiencing different points of view between me, the conservative PR guy, and our elite athlete coordinator, who remains hopeful that Woody will show up.
