Grand Slam Track (GST) has officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the details coming out of the court filings are staggering. In today’s rundown, we dive deep into the financial collapse of Michael Johnson’s track league and what it means for the athletes who are still waiting to be paid.
From world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone being owed over $350,000 to Olympic champion Gabby Thomas being owed a quarter-million dollars, the "trust gap" in track and field has never been wider. Can GST actually return from this, or is the optimism "delusional"?
In this video, we discuss:
✅ The Creditors: A breakdown of the elite athletes and vendors owed millions.
✅ The Trust Problem: Why "showing the money" is the only way forward for any pro league.
✅ Product Critique: Why the 3-day format and the exclusion of field events failed.
✅ The Path Forward: What GST must do if they ever hope to secure new investors and athlete participation.
