Athletics’ Millionaire ‘Grand Slam’ starts with Jamaica

Athletics shouted at the removal of Usain Bolt in 2017, an athlete with a special magnetism that changed this sport and was able to mobilize thousands of people with their single presence. The void left by the Jamaican star still felt, along with television audiences and a fame far from its peak hours. The World Athletics failed to find the key, despite having a combined -with -a -companion product like the Diamond League with 14 annual quotes worldwide.

Because of this situation, the legendary and controversial Michael JohnsonIt has been very critical for many years with the immobilist drift the maximum entity of the world of athletics, She decided to launch her personal challenge And bet in a new competition, more dynamic and revolutionary. Inspired by the circulation that caused Saudi’s money to the Golf world with the creation of the new Liv circuit, Johnson launched a new Grand Slam Track (GST) with four selected trials that meet ‘best of the best’ starting on Saturday morning in Kingston, Jamaica, the land of Usain Bolt.

No one left in the opportunity with a new proposal that is a confrontation with World athletics I’m at the pure athlete with a fief in Europe. GST was born to compete with Diamond League ‘Officer’ with a very clear area: Higher awards, absence of hares, larger television and racing athletes, without competitions. This final point was a personal obsession with Johnson, considering that the contests were left behind, break the television rhythm and were not interested in the general public. An extremist position that led him to encounter itself Mondo DuplantisMaximum banner of current athletics and its number one enemy.
