The legendary sprinter revolutionised athletics with his unique running style and record-breaking performances.

Michael Johnson is a four-time Olympic gold medallist who earned millions of dollars through prize money and sponsorships.

Now he's back with a plan to transform athletics with the Grand Slam Track league — a new competition featuring a $12.6 million prize fund.

He's hoping it will elevate financial opportunities for today's athletes and ignite inspiration for future generations.
