You know how there’s always been this buzz in the air about Michael Johnson’s grand slam track vision? Well, folks, the wait is finally over! Last night, the legendary sprinter just dropped a game-changing announcement which has the entire track and field community buzzing. For months, we’ve all been wondering: Will it happen? Can he pull it off? Most importantly, will we see stars like Noah Lyles gracing the track? But Johnson just silenced all the skeptics with not one, but two massive announcements: a groundbreaking media partnership with Peacock for live streaming, and The CW network stepping up to broadcast weekend races. Let me tell you, this isn’t just another sports deal. It’s a watershed moment for track and field. And just when we thought that was all, Johnson took to his X handle and, well, let’s just say he wasn’t done surprising us.
This Tuesday, Michael Johnson hopped on his X handle and decided to throw some shade at the haters. He said, “Thanks track fans, for your patience while we negotiated broadcast deals to make @GrandSlamTrack the most accessible track series ever! I appreciate your support! To the doubters and (you know who you are), you did it to yourself. Look at the bio!” The doubt all kicked off with the legendary Noah Lyles, who’s been pretty skeptical about the whole thing.

He’s mentioned a bunch of times that he’ll only jump on board once there’s a solid broadcasting partner. “[Grand Slam Track is] still in the same position [with me] as it has been all year,” he told Letsrun.com. After that, folks started questioning Michael Johnson. But now that Michael’s dropped his announcement, it’s just a waiting game to see if Noah will respond or not.
