American track legend Michael Johnson has questioned the continued involvement of non-athletes involvement in Track and Field.
American track and field legend Michael Johnson has voiced strong concerns over the increasing involvement of non-athletes in the sport.
His remarks come in response to recent high-profile exhibition races featuring internet personalities and professional athletes from other sports competing against elite track stars.
One of the most talked-about instances was the 50-yard dash between Olympic champion Noah Lyles and American content creator IShowSpeed in November 2024.
While Lyles won the race, IShowSpeed has remained active in the athletics scene, even recently challenging women’s 100m world champion Sha’Carri Richardson.

Timothy Ouma: Dream Ksh473m move to Slavia Prague turning into nightmare for Harambee Stars midfielder
Timothy Ouma made a big-money move to Czech giants Slavia Prague in January, hoping to take his career to the next level, but his first two months have been worrying.
Johnson, a former Olympic champion and world record holder in the 400m, believes this trend is disrespectful to professional track athletes.
Speaking to NBC, he said, "To be honest, it starts to get a little bit disrespectful to these athletes to think that only in track and field does it happen."
He further questioned why track and field is the only sport allowing such matchups.
"Nobody expects that in any other sport. But in track, oh, yeah. We'll just let anybody who says they're fast just come in and, you know, get a chance to prove it. Can't go and just play in the NBA just because you're a street ball legend. Doesn’t work that way," stated Johnson.

AFC Leopards boss reveals strategy used to fill up Nyayo Stadium for Mashemeji Derby
AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has shared how the club managed to fill up Nyayo Stadium for the Mashemeji Derby that ended goalless against Gor Mahia.
The issue is set to escalate with another much-anticipated race in the works, an exhibition showdown between Lyles and NFL star Tyreek Hill.
The Lyles and Hill have been engaged in a heated debate over who deserves the title of “the fastest man,” with their race projected for later this year.
Johnson challenged such individuals to go through proper channels if they want to engage with the sport professionally.
"You wanna prove it? Go compete at NCAA’s, you know, and become an NCAA athlete and then work your way in. That’s the process for every other sport," he stated.

'Come meet Benni McCarthy' – Taiwo Atieno urges Tottenham star to ditch England for Kenya
Taiwo Atieno has urged Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence to visit Kenya and meet Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy before deciding on his international future.
Despite his criticism, Johnson acknowledged that there is an entertainment aspect to these matchups and suggested a structured platform for such exhibitions.
As the founder of Grand Slam Track, he sees an opportunity to host such events in a more organized way.
"Now with Grand Slam Track, that is the process with this sport. But we will put those exhibitions in our program. So, yeah, IShowSpeed, come on, bro. We got some other people, you know, we got some other content creators who think that they’re quick too. We can match you up against them. We’re all about that," he concluded.
