After Bol’s record-setting performance in the 400m at the Rabat Diamond League, fans on social media began urging for her inclusion in the Grand Slam Track meet set to take place in Philadelphia later this week.
Their excitement caught Johnson’s attention, prompting him to chime in on the conversation and share his thoughts on Bol, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and the future of elite competition in the league.
Femke Bol and the Rise of a New Track League
In a response to a fan on X, Johnson addressed the potential showdown between Bol and McLaughlin-Levrone in the 400m hurdles, adding valuable insight into the current competitive landscape in women's track.
“If we’re honest, we know how that ends right? Would love to have Femke though. Femke vs Anna Cockrell and others is more competitive. Syd in Short Hurdles and Long Sprints is ideal, unless she’s going for another 400h WR,” Johnson said.
Grand Slam Track has quickly become one of the most talked-about innovations in athletics.
