Zharnel Hughes has explained how Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track series is setting him up nicely and perfectly to condend for the podium places in Tokyo this Summer.
Great Britain’s fastest man in history, Zharnel Hughes, believes the newly launched Grand Slam Track series is exactly what he needs to sharpen his edge and challenge the world’s best—including Noah Lyles and Akani Simbine—at the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this September.
Hughes is the British men's record holder in both the 100m and 200m and was part of Team GB's 4x100m bronze medal-winning quartet at last summer's Paris Olympics.
The 29-year-old also claimed individual bronze in the 100m at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.

Blow For Kenya In Construction of Stadium Earmarked For AFCON 2027
The stalled project is expected to compliment the main stadia of the AFCON 2027 showpiece.
Speaking to the media recently, Hughes, who is on a mission to restore his 2023 form, has explained what he needs to work on in order to return to the great heights.
"Yeah, there are definitely some things I want to work on in the 100 meters—especially my starts. And for the 200 meters, I can fix my bend as well," said Hughes.
"I'm just keeping things moving. I haven’t fully unloaded yet, so I’m really excited to see what I can do once I’m fresh."
Speaking on Johnson’s Grand Slam Track, which has allowed him to take on other high level sprinters like Bednarek, Seville and even Fred Kerley early in the season, Hughes waxed lyrical on how its timeliness has helped the sprinter.
Grand Slam Track Keeping Him Sharp
"I love it. It allows me to accomplish a lot in one season. I enjoy competing, and getting a few races under my belt really helps. Racing against guys I know are capable of making finals keeps me sharp and builds my competitiveness for the rest of the season."
Acknowledging that he’s still not at full throttle, Hughes is confident more is to come.
"I'm just grateful to be racing. Last year, I didn’t get many 100-meter races in—this is only my third of the season. So even getting two or three races now means a lot to me. Last year, I only managed one before I was sidelined. I’m just happy to be healthy and competing."
Now healthy and building momentum, Hughes is quietly optimistic that Tokyo could mark his return to the very top.
