‘I am so excited to be joining Grand Slam Track,’ says Olympic triple gold medalist, Gabby Thomas
USA triple Olympic gold medal winner; Gabby Thomas says she is excited to be the latest track and field super star to join Grand Slam Track in a huge coup for Michael Johnson’s new big-money athletics league.
The Paris 2024 Olympics 200m, 4x100m, and 4x400m gold medalist who has signed to compete in all four Slams of 2025 season starting with the opener in April, is one of the biggest stars to have joined the money-spinning meet as a racer.
‘I am so excited to be joining Grand Slam Track and partnering with Michael Johnson to give our sport the platform it deserves. Coming off the Olympics, I want to continue testing myself and competing at the highest level against the fastest women in the world. Grand Slam Track allows us that chance in 2025.
‘Michael’s vision is incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait to give the millions of track fans around the world even more chances to watch us compete. I look forward to seeing all of our fans at the four Slams next year,’ said Thomas.
She is the fifth Olympic champion from the US to join GST after Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Quincy Hall, Cole Hocker and Masai Russell.
Thomas will race in the 100m and 200m at all four events and could win as much as $400,000 if she tops her short sprints category at each meet.
