Olympic silver medalist Matt Hudson-Smith stated he is uncertain whether he has received all payments owed to him by Grand Slam Track, the track and field league that filed for bankruptcy. The statement came during a press conference ahead of the European championships in Birmingham, England.
Hudson-Smith addressed comments made by four-time Olympic champion Michael Johnson in an interview with the Telegraph. Johnson had indicated he had “been able to get these athletes paid.” However, Hudson-Smith expressed uncertainty about his own payment status, saying he has “a memory like a fish” and is unsure if he’s been fully compensated.
The situation arises after Grand Slam Track filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection late last year. The league's financial difficulties have left athletes questioning whether they will receive all monies owed to them for participation in events. Hudson-Smith’s comments highlight the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the payments and the challenges faced by athletes following the league’s bankruptcy filing.
