ABOUT HOSTING A LUNCH WITH MICHAEL JOHNSON AT THE WORLD
FAMOUS DORCHESTER HOTEL IN MAYFAIR.
Michael Johnson is the best 200/400m sprinter in the history of the sport of track & field. He is a 4-time Olympic Gold medalist, 9-time World Champion, and world record holder. During his 11 year career Michael established a record of 13 Olympic and World Championship medals, all of them gold. Johnson represented the United States in the Olympics on three occasions: Barcelona 1992, winning gold in the 4x400m relay; Atlanta 1996, winning gold at 200m and 400m; and Sydney 2000, winning gold again at 400m.
During his career, Johnson broke world records in the 200m, 400m, and 4x400m relay. He became known as the “Fastest Man in the World” in 1996 when completing the historic 200/400m Olympic double. WOW!
Following his retirement from competitive track in 2000, Johnson has achieved success as a television commentator working for BBC sports and the Olympics. Additionally, he is a regular contributor in the sports section of The Times.
Johnson’s exciting new book GOLD RUSH is based on his own experiences as an iconic four time Olympic champion, and on the knowledge he has gleaned as the owner and founder of a top class sports training institute and motivational speaker. It also features more than a dozen exclusive and insightful interviews with Olympic legends from across several different sports who between them have claimed more than 50 gold medals over the past 30 years.
