Episode Details

Olympic silver medalist Matt Hudson-Smith is still waiting for full payment from the now-bankrupt Grand Slam Track, a league founded by Michael Johnson that promised athletes salaries and fees but folded after its final event was canceled. Hudson-Smith admits he can’t recall payment details, though bankruptcy filings list him as owed $147,500 — one of over 300 people collectively owed $40 million. Johnson claims $11 million has been raised and distributed, calling it the most ever paid to track athletes, but a recent note reveals some funds are still in escrow. As bankruptcy proceedings drag on, athletes remain in limbo, hoping for clarity and closure.
