"But at the end of the day, we want the sport to grow. If you want to be a part of that, then you’re going to be a part of it. If you want to do something else, then you’re going to do that."
Bednarek pointed out that many athletes who haven't joined Grand Slam Track are involved in other competitions, such as the Diamond League or individual meets like Sha'Carri Richardson's appearance at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix.
Bednarek continued, "I don’t know exactly why he wants to do it. Maybe it’s not enough money. But at the end of the day, we have athletes here that actually want to help grow the sport."
Lyles previously revealed that he had discussed the Grand Slam Track concept with Johnson but declined to participate because the offered compensation didn't reflect his market value.
