Michael Duane Johnson (born 13 September 1967 in Dallas) is an American track and field athlete, a sprinter specialising in the 200 m and 400 m races. He won four Olympic gold medals and 8 World Championships gold medals in the span of his career. He is also a world record holder.

Interesting Fact

If trainers selected athletes based on their running technique, Johnson would not have passed a single trial. Michael's distinctive stiff upright running position and very short steps defied the conventional wisdom that a high knee lift was necessary for maximum speed. All debates about the corrent running technique can be disregarded when presented with consistent evidence of Johnson's victories. He accumulated 50 consecutive wins in the 400 m in the span of his career.

I don't have the intention of proving something to anyone. I prove to myself that I can become better and stronger every time I train.
