Jamaica’s place in future Grand Slam Track Series events hangs in the balance despite hosting a meet filled with world-leading performances. While athletes like Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Naser (48.67s in the 400m) and Brazil’s Alison dos Santos (47.61s in the 400m hurdles) delivered standout showings, sparse crowds at Kingston’s National Stadium have raised concerns about the island’s long-term inclusion in the innovative circuit.

Series Commissioner Michael Johnson praised the competition’s success but avoided committing to Jamaica’s return. “We’ll evaluate everything after the season,” he said, acknowledging attendance challenges. Ticket prices—peaking at US$60 per day—and scheduling conflicts, including a post-Champs fatigue effect, were cited as key deterrents for local fans.
