Why Michael Johnson didn't run in the 1991 relay

The reason why Michael Johnson didn't run in the Tokyo 1991 4x 400m relay.

Wow!

[@gezzarandom]

Well that decision by the US backfired......and I wonder if Michael secretly felt smug when the USA lost without him? I would've 😂

[@isaz597]

He obviously did as he says it smugly on this video lol

Plus 0:22 Colin Jackson is like, “Of course, selection politics, say no more.”

Who would he have replaced though? The rookie Quincy Watts ran a 43.5 leg.

Michael Johnson had the world lead over the 400m that year, so I say he would have replaced anyone, most probably Valmon or Pettigrew

Hello

⁠​⁠​⁠@@alphaomega1459Valmon had made that lead off leg his own, but Michael would’ve probably replaced Danny Everett or Pettigrew.
