Michael Johnson reveals how he intends to get his track league into a fan-driven spectacle
Michael Johnson has revealed how his track league will help make track and field more conducive to keep fans on board like in other sports such as football and Formula 1.
He was hoping to defend his Kip Keino Classic title but the opposition proved too strong for him and he was forced to settle for a fifth place in the hotly contested race that was won by America’s Kenny Bednarek.
He was also at the World Athletics Relays, hoping to propel the men’s 4x100m relay team to Olympic qualification but they unfortunately faltered and missed out on Olympic qualification.

Omanyala has great ambitions ahead of the Olympic Games and competing against strong fields in his build-up will certainly play a huge role in executing a good race in Paris.
Meanwhile, Knighton settled for silver in the 200m at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary and he looks to be off to a good start this season.
He competed in one race in his indoor tour, the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais Trophée EDF where he managed to win the 60m race.
He is yet to compete outdoors and will be gauging his body at the Atlanta City but with his track record of posting faster times and recording great results, it is with no doubt that he will be looking to impress.
