Grand Slam Track misses payments to athletes, Michael Johnson ‘confident' of its future
Grand Slam Track (GST) has missed payments to its athletes due to not receiving funding which had been committed to the competition, founder and four-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson said on Friday. The fourth and final meet of GST's inaugural season, due to take place in Los Angeles in June, was cancelled. Organisers said at the time it was a decision 'rooted in a belief that we have successfully achieved the objectives we set out to in this pilot season,' however, in a statement issued on Friday, Johnson said it was determined curtailing the season was the 'best thing to do' to avoid further losses and begin the process of 'stabilising the company'. Advertisement The statement read: 'It is incredibly difficult to live with the reality that you've built something bigger than yourself while simultaneously feeling like you've let down the very people you set out to help. However, I have to own that. 'And yes, the cruellest paradox in all of this is we promised that athletes would be fairly and quickly compensated. Yet, here we are struggling with our ability to compensate them. 'We were devastated when we learned we would not receive the funding committed to us. We worked tirelessly alongside our investors and board to find a quick solution to the problem. Up until and even after the LA postponement, we were getting positive signs that a solution was close.' Johnson added GST 'offered dated payment timelines and have been unable to meet them'. Upon its formation, GST announced it had $30million in financial commitments from its partners, with primary funding coming from Winners Alliance, an organisation which prioritises athletes' interests. Three GST events took place in its inaugural season: in Kingston, Miami and Philadelphia. The event attempted to bring track athletics into the sporting mainstream between the Olympics, which are held every four years. Athletics' World Championships, meanwhile, is a bi-annual event, and GST incentivised its participants with a sizeable prize pot. The event offered winners of each race $100,000, scaling down to $10,000 for eighth place. 'Understandably, this has led to frustration, disappointment, and inconvenience to our athletes, agents, and vendors,' Johnson said. 'I know this damages trust. I know this makes some wonder if our vision can survive. That is why we are not just addressing the immediate problem; we are putting systems and partnerships in place to make sure it never happens again.' Advertisement Johnson said the 2026 GST season will not take place 'until those obligations are met' and it is prioritising 'satisfying our outstanding debt in order to continue the momentum toward a better future for athletes, fans, and the league,' though stressed the process 'takes time'. 'Despite the challenges of the past few months, I remain confident about the future of Grand Slam Track,' Johnson said. Since 2010, the most notable global track and field series has been the invitational Diamond League, in which athletes try to accumulate the most points over 14 meetings to qualify for the end-of-season final. The Diamond League said this year's edition will see around $18 million (£13.47 million) paid to athletes, which includes promotional fees for the biggest names. U.S. athletes Kenny Bednarek and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won GST's Racer of the Year awards after the three events in the 2025 campaign. Both Bednarek and Jefferson-Wooden won the short sprints event, comprising 100m and 200m, in each of the three meets. (Roger Wimmer/) Spot the pattern.

The new Roki looks like the old Roki
In Dodgers minor league games for Thursday, August 14th, eyes were on the mound in Oklahoma City as appearances by Roki Sasaki, Michael Kopech, and Bobby Miller all had implications for the parent Dodgers. Roki Sasaki made a rehab start as the Dodgers hope that he might contribute to the parent Dodgers during the pennant stretch and possibly postseason. It didn't go well. Sasaki threw 41 pitches (25 strikes) in two innings of work, giving up three runs on six hits and one walk, while striking out nobody. His velocity, closely watched from day one after Sasaki specifically focused on that in team interviews prior to signing, was mostly 92-94 mph, never reaching 96. Sasaki threw over 100 mph in Japan before losing some velocity and effectiveness in his last season there. This was his first outing since he was shut down, so the Dodgers can hope things will improve as he builds himself up. Not helping the Dodgers' collective psyche was another rough rehab appearance, this time by Michael Kopech. Kopech couldn't get through an inning, giving up two walks and two hits in the course of getting two outs. The Dodgers picked up Kopech mid-season last year, and he barely gave up a run for the rest of the season (three total runs in 24 games). He showed up injured to spring training, made it back for eight scoreless appearances, then went back on the injured list. For some good news, Bobby Miller may have found himself in the bullpen. His shutout inning gave him six straight scoreless appearances (seven innings), during which time Miller has only allowed one hit and one walk. Ronan Kopp pitched two perfect innings, and he seems to have found his groove in Triple-A with three straight scoreless performances, striking out eight in four and one-third innings. Kopp, who went over a month without giving up an earned run (15 appearances) prior to being promoted to OKC, has 68 strikeouts in 44 innings on the season, with 34 walks. Notably, he has not given up a home run in 39 games. As far as the game, the Albuquerque Isotopes beat the Oklahoma City Comets 8-5. The offense put up 13 hits (six extra-base hits) and six walks, but could only convert that into five runs. Esteury Ruiz had a productive game with two hits, two walks, a home run, and two stolen bases. Maybe it's not as weird as I think. For the fifth time in about four days, a Dodgers affiliate has pulled off this same pattern. The starting pitcher goes exactly five innings and gives up one run, and the bullpen closes with four scoreless innings. Patrick Copen worked around some traffic, yielding six hits and four walks in five innings, but only one run. James Tibbs III had three hits and is now hitting .317 as a Dodger in 11 games, with a 9/10 strikeout/walk ratio. 23-year-old catcher Nelson Quiroz, promoted to Double-A after hitting .367 in 98 at-bats in High-A, so far hasn't found the pitching-dominant Texas League to be much more of a challenge. In 47 at-bats for Tulsa, Quiroz is hitting .362. A five-run eighth inning turned the game around as the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers defeated the Great Lakes Loons 8-6. Logan Tabeling, in his High-A debut, got roughed up for those five runs, taking home a loss and a blown save as souvenirs. Zyhir Hope, hitting .125 in 40 at-bats in August, got two hits, and Jake Gelof hit his tenth home run. Kendall George was on base four times with two hits and two walks, so naturally, he stole four bases. The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes scored five runs in the first two innings. and the Visalia Rawhide could never catch up, the game ending in a 7-4 score. 2024 round-18 draft pick Isaac Ayon made his first appearance in Low-A ball and lasted two and two-thirds innings, giving up one run on two hits. Niko Perez drove in three runs for the Quakes, and Mairoshendrick Martinus hit his fifth home run. Albuquerque 8, Oklahoma City 5 Tulsa 5, San Antonio 1 Wisconsin 8, Great Lakes 6 Rancho Cucamonga 7, Visalia 4 Great Lakes (Maddox Bruns) at Wisconsin (Sam Garcia), 4:40 PM PST San Antonio (Jagger Haynes) at Tulsa (Roque Gutierrez), 5:00 PM PST Albuquerque (Andrew Quezada) at Oklahoma City (TBA), 5:05 PM PST Rancho Cucamonga (Marlon Nieves) at Visalia (Adonys Perez), 6:30 PM PST

ESPN predicts how Notre Dame will fare in the College Football Playoff
On Friday morning two ESPN analysts, Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach predicted how the College Football Playoff would play out and both of them had much different outlooks for Notre Dame. They do think that the Irish will make the field of 12-teams, but with varying results. Bonagura has Notre Dame having a rematch of its season-opening game against No. 11 Miami as the No. 6 seed while Schlabach has the Irish as the No. 7 seed taking on No. 10 LSU. While Notre Dame is eligible to get a first-round bye, they don't think that will be the case this year. It could be a blessing in disguise, as all four teams that sat out the first-round of the CFP lost its second-round game last year. Schlabach doesn't have Notre Dame moving past the initial game, while Bonagura does. He has them matching up against No. 3 Ohio State, only to fall to the Buckeyes once again. As for the eventual championship game, they both have their No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams facing off, but with different matchups. Bonagura has No. 2 Penn State facing No. 1 Texas, while Schlabach has No. 2 Clemson also taking on the Longhorns. After what we saw last year, it's hard to say that the top-two teams will eventually play for a championship, as neither the Irish or the Buckeyes were one of the top seeds. This isn't how I see it playing out, as I think that the Irish will get a top-4 seed, and an easier path in the CFP. How do you see it playing out?
