Michael was born into a modest home in Dallas in 1967, the youngest of five children. He had a very normal upbringing, but tended to focus on two things: his studies and running.

At 19, Michael enrolled at Baylor University, where he ended up on the track & field team running sprint races. Although breaking record after record in his meets on the track, Michael still focused on his studies, graduating with a degree in accounting.

But then came the international track & field world, where Michael soon sprinted his way to the top! Because of his unique upright running style, he was nicknamed “The Duck,” but he was truly one of the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) when it came to running.

He was a four-time Olympic champion and eight-time World champion. He’s the only male athlete to win both the 200 meters and 400 meters events in the same Olympics, and the only man in history to successfully defend an Olympic title in the 400 meters. Beginning in 1993, Johnson won 58 consecutive 400 meters races in a row in international competitions!

Michael Johnson was a CHAMPION because he used his God-given talents to the best of his ability.
