Grand Slam Track adds Richards, Roberts to stacked roster for inaugural season

Grand Slam Track has added more star power to its roster ahead of its inaugural season in 2025 with the signings of Daniel Roberts and Jereem Richards.

The USA’s Roberts took silver behind Grant Holloway in the 110m hurdles at the Paris Olympics while Trinidad & Tobago’s Richards was a finalist in the 400m, narrowly missing out on a medal with a national record 43.78 in fourth.

Roberts also took bronze at the 2023 World Championships. Reflecting on his career, Roberts said, “track has been my life for as long as I can remember, and it’s about always moving forward. Grand Slam Track feels like the right place to keep evolving as an athlete, and I’m ready to embrace that. I’m grateful for this opportunity and am excited to take my sport to new heights.”

Richards, who specializes in the 200m and 400m, is a two-time Olympian and 2022 World Indoor Championships gold medalist. He shared his perspective on the sport.

 “Every race is a chance to tell a story about where I’ve come from and where I’m going. Grand Slam Track is the perfect platform for that. It’s not just about winning; it’s about showing the world my journey, one race at a time. I’m proud to represent Trinidad and Tobago in Grand Slam Track™ and eager to show the world what I’ve got.”

The addition of Roberts and Richards to Grand Slam Track™ marks a significant step in the league's growth, further enhancing its reputation as a platform for elite athletes.
