There will be a notable absence during the BBC's athletics coverage this year following their decision to omit one pundit. After that, the four-time Olympic champion began to focus on his work with the Grand Slam Track league (GST) which has since encountered a myriad of issues. Speaking to BBC Sport, Olympic silver medallist Kerr said: 'Of course I'm frustrated - I'm owed a lot of money. Johnson vowed to 'save' track athletics when he launched his league in 2024, with the promise of lucrative prizes and elite billing. However, a key backer withdrew after the first event in Jamaica in 2024 and the plan quickly unravelled, with GST filing for bankruptcy at the end of 2025.
