The inaugural Grand Slam Track Meet is set to take place in Kingston, Jamaica, marking a historic moment in the sport. The league was founded by Michael Johnson with the goal of revolutionizing track and field. One key way he's achieving this is by emphasizing rivalries, which naturally attracts fans with compelling storylines and exciting matchups. Interestingly, the first Grand Slam Meet will take place in Kingston, making the USA vs. Jamaica rivalry one of the many electric storylines for the event.

Daniel Roberts and Jereem Richards are the latest athletes to join the Grand Slam Track roster. Roberts, the reigning Paris Olympics silver medalist, and Richards, a Paris Olympics 400m finalist, strengthen the league's depth of talent.

Daniel Roberts won his 110m hurdles heat at the 2019 IAAF World Championships, but he won't be advancing to the semifinal.

Our next installment of event previews for the 2019 IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar, focuses on the men's hurdles races.
