Michael Johnson, the Olympic legend joins us on the anniversary of his 19.32 200m world record Olympic gold medal run from the 1996 Olympics to talk all things track and field at the 66:49 mark. What event is he most excited about (hint: Sha’Carri Richardson is in it), what does he think of Syndey McLaughlin-Levrone and Noah Lyles and why isn’t track more popular in the US?

Prior to Michael joining us, we break down Sean Brosnan being ousted at UCLA, the Olympic Marathon Trials being held at noon in Orlando, Pete Bol being cleared, 18-year-old Issam Asinga running 9.89 and discuss which athlete we most want to know is clean or dirty?
