    776 Invitational with Gabby Thomas, Michael Johnson secures $30M, and an international schedule from China to Bermuda, Christian Millers 9.93 is still the world lead!

    Changes in Track and Field are needed in our sport and its refreshing to see Gabby Thomas and Alexis Ohanian partnering to launch the 776 Invitational, a women’s-only tack meet. Michael Johnson secures $30M for new track league, Michael Johnson only wins Gold Medals at the Olympics and has been synonymous with the sport since the 80s. Michael Johnson can create transparency in our sport and lift our athletes up with this huge legacy play! For far too long our sport has lacked transparency and has had a stranglehold on progress, with agents and shoe companies hidden agendas. This past weekend we had a lot of track to follow from the Diamond League to Bermuda, we saw many former Olympians in action, but when it comes to the 100M, Christian Miller has the world lead with his 9.93. Next up, World Relays.
