Michael Duane Johnson is a retired American sprinter who holds world records in the 200 m (19.32 s), 400 m (43.18 s) and 4 x 400 m relay (2:54.20, as part of the USA team). He won five Olympic gold medals and was a world champion nine times.

Johnson’s breakthrough onto the world stage came in 1991 when he won the World Championship 200 m title in Tokyo.
In 1996 Johnson received the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States, as well as being named as ABC’s Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year.
