US EditionKerr 'Frustrated' at Six-Figure Sum Owed to Him by Johnson's Failed Grand Slam Track
- Scottish two-time world champion Josh Kerr submitted a claim for $218,750 after Grand Slam Track filed for bankruptcy in December 2025, leaving millions collectively owed to athletes and vendors.
- The project, spearheaded by four-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson, curtailed its inaugural 2025 season before collapsing amid financial turmoil that left creditors and athletes unpaid.
- Court filings from vendors earlier this month alleged Johnson secretly received $500,000 while aware creditors would remain unpaid; representatives for the project denied these accusations.
- Kerr voiced his frustration over the loss, saying "Of course I'm frustrated," yet maintained those involved are "good people" in a "horrible situation."
- Away from the financial dispute, the 2023 world 1,500m champion competes in Poland this week, aiming to reclaim the world indoor 3,000m title he won in Glasgow two years ago.
