Brett Crawford faces tactical puzzle as Mr Incredible begins Classic Mile quest at Sha Tin

SailGP has the look of a runaway train, but co-founder Russell Coutts ‘far from satisfied’
On the face of it, Grand Slam Track should have worked. The brainchild of Michael Johnson, the four-time Olympic gold medal sprinter, the initiative was designed to give track and field a regular season narrative; to position track and field in the global spotlight and reward the world’s best athletes with the cash rewards and superstar profiles that their talents merited. Still, poor crowds for Grand Slam Track’s (GTS) April 2025 debut in Jamaica raised the first red flag. Attendances over the...
