The three medallists in the 100m hurdles from Paris – Masai Russell, Cyréna Samba-Mayela and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn – join Michael Johnson’s event

Masai Russell, Cyréna Samba-Mayela and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn – the three athletes that made up the Olympic 100m hurdles in Paris – have signed for Grand Slam Track.

In one of the closest races during the entire the Olympics, the trio were separated by just three hundredths of a second with Russell, Samba-Mayela and Camacho-Quinn running 12.33, 12.34 and 12.36 respectively.

Russell claimed gold on her Olympic debut and became the fourth American to stand on the top of the 100m hurdles podium this century after Joanna Hayes, Dawn Harper and Brianna Rollins.

The 24-year-old is joint-fifth on the 100m hurdles all-time list with 12.24 – a time she ran to win the US Championships – and is also the NCAA record-holder over the distance.
