‘When we build it, they’ll come’ – Michael Johnson’s final reaction on Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson making future appearances at GST League

Grand Slam Track boss Michael Johnson is convinced once there’s a high success rate in the first season of the GST League, more top athletes will join.
With less than 30 days until the highly anticipated Grand Slam Track, League boss Michael Johnson has given his final verdict on Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and other top track stars who will not be participating.
The American Olympic legend shared his final views in an interview with Chris Chavez for Citius Mag, revealing his bold plan, and goals for Grand Slam Track’s first season’s launch.

“Some days I wake up and think I can’t wait, and some days I wake up and think, can wait, we still got a lot to do between now and then. But all good, pretty looking good,” said the four-time Olympic gold medallist on preparations ahead of the first league slam in Jamaica from April 3 – 5.

When asked about the key concerns that athletes had before joining the league, and how they have been addressed, Johnson said: “When we build it, you know, they come.”
He also talked about the fact that he wasn’t expecting all the top names to sign in year one, which he knew was going to be one of the biggest challenges.

“The first step was raising the money which we did. The next step once we did that which is the biggest challenge I knew we were all going to have – the two biggest challenges for this league is getting athletes on board to approach their sport in a different way where they will be more ‘valued’ and will enjoy a lot of freedom, which we did.”
He further added, “And that’s the other thing—just like we talked about with television and everything else. Are all of the athletes going to come in Year One? Come on, no. All the athletes are not going to come in Year One.

“You can over-index and get hyper-focused on who’s not here, which, in my opinion, is somewhat disrespectful to the 48 who are here,” he said.
Despite a numner of tops stars such as Richardson, Lyles, Julien Alfred, Letsile Tebogo, etc being absent, track fans and enthusiasts can still anticipate a high quality league which has other Olympic champions, world champions, and finalists already signed up.
