Sprinting legend Michael Johnson is launching 'Grand Slam Track' league, aiming to bring together nearly 100 top performers in track and field four times a year to compete for $12.6 million in prize money during its debut season. The league, set to kick off in April, will feature events in Los Angeles, another U.S. city, and two international locations. The league has already signed world-record hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and plans to award a $100,000 first prize to athletes in various categories, aiming to offer financial incentives and increase the visibility of elite-level track and field competition.
