Grand Slam Track’s bankruptcy plan proposes paying athletes about $6 million, or roughly 85% of the $7 million they are still owed while paying other creditors only 1.5%. If approved, this would open up the possibility for a season 2.

After GST's demise, there has been a lot of vitriol directed towards Michael Johnson but a court filing last week reveals he personally may be the biggest loser of all as he personally leant the league more than $2 million so the Philadelphia meet could be held. *MB: To all the Michael Johnson haters, court documents reveal that MJ may lose $2.2 million that he loaned the league

New bankruptcy filings reveal that Grand Slam Track owes millions for TV production, million to athletes including $356,250 to Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and nearly $272,915 to Citius Mag for coverage and related services.

Michael Johnson has acknowledged Grand Slam Track’s failure to meet it's payment schedule to athletes and that the 2026 season will not take place unless athletes are paid.

GST committed to paying Kingston prize money by the end of July; Fisher, who is owed $100,000 for that meet, said he has still not been paid. "I don't want it to come to a lawsuit and a big headache and Grand Slam being crushed and everyone saying 'I told you so,'" Fisher said. "I don't think that's a good outcome for anybody." *MB: Grant Fisher says he'll be "upset" if GST payment isn't made by July 31 deadline, insinuates legal action may be taken

Jefferson-Wooden (10.73) and Bednarek (9.86) both ran PBs/world leaders in the 100 while Young (8:01.03) won his GST debut in the 3,000 thanks to a 25.61 last 200 after Grant Fisher scratched.

Once again, the men's 800 & 1500 will be must-watch TV as two of the hottest Americans from the 2025 indoor season - Josh Hoey and Hobbs Kessler - take on the big boys at Franklin Field. Plus Addy Wiley, Nia Akins, Georgia Hunter Bell, Christian Coleman, Christian Miller, Nico Young, and Graham Blanks make the GST debuts.

Michael Johnson has always said he is open to feedback when it comes to his new venture, Grand Slam Track. It took just two meets for Johnson to act on that feedback. Are the changes good for the future of the league or a sign of panic? Rojo and Jonathan Gault debate what it all means.

Grant Fisher ran for 3rd on Sunday and still won $100k while Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone said she's tentatively planning on running the 100/100H in Philadelphia and 200/400 in LA.

The fantasy matchup in the men's 1500 (five Paris Olympic medalists across the 800/1500) delivered a thriller as Olympic 800 champ Wanyonyi (3:35.18) used a 51.58 last lap to beat Yared Nuguse, Cole Hocker, and Josh Kerr.

There were some entertaining races in Kingston, with Grant Fisher winning an extremely tactical 5,000 and Hiltz (1:58.23) holding off Diribe Welteji in the 800. But the big stadium was largely empty on Friday night.

Olympic 1500 medalists Cole Hocker, Josh Kerr, and Yared Nuguse will face  each other and Olympic 800 medalists Emmanuel Wanyonyi & Marco Arop and American record holder Bryce Hoppel twice in the span of less than 24 hours.

Michael Johnson's quest to reinvent track and field starts on Friday. Some BIG names like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, and Cole Hocker have signed up for the new series, but some of the biggest stars in the sprint world like Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Grant Holloway and even Jamaicans like Kishane Thompson and Shericka Jackson have given it a pass. Some even will be competing elsewhere this weekend. Will the format that focuses on doubling be a hit with the fans?

GST may have an innovative format and lots of $$ but it appears nothing can solve track and field's problem of 1) it's hard to keep stars healthy and 2) force athletes to compete where you want them to compete. Cooper Teare, Dylan Jacobs and Heather MacLean will be there but 4 of the biggest names in Jamaican sprinting will not be - Kishane Thompson, Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah. Nor will arguably the 4 biggest names in all of the short sprints - Noah Lyles, Letsile Tebogo, Julien Alfred, and Sha'Carri Richardson. *MB: Grand Slam Jamaica April 4-6 Full Field Released .

In the women's 100 hurdles, the entire 2024 Olympic podium has signed up to be GST Racers in 2025.

GST signed Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone & Gabby Thomas as Racers, but many of the sport's biggest names such as Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson have yet to commit to the series.

For many years, Kwemoi was defined by the 3:28.81 1500 he ran in 2014, which made him the fastest teenager in history. Now Kwemoi is an Olympic medalist and will join Grand Slam Track in 2025. How did it happen?

Hoare said he spoke with Ingebrigtsen about GST while cooling down in Zurich and that Ingebrigtsen said he was open to racing on the series but likely not in the 800/1500 group and that he did not like having to go race in the USA.
