Five-time Goodwill Games gold medalist, five-time Olympic gold medalist and nine-time world champion Michael Johnson on Thursday confirmed that he will run the last race of his competitive career at the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia.

Johnson, who is the world record holder in the 200m and 400m and part of the 4x400m world record relay team - a record set at the 1998 Goodwill Games - will compete in the 4x400m relay team on Sept. 7 at ANZ stadium to close out his illustrious career. The race will air live on Turner Network Television.

"I will be officially concluding my competitive career at the 2001 Goodwill Games on September 7, in Brisbane, Australia," said Johnson. "I made my international debut at the 1990 Goodwill Games and the 2001 Goodwill Games will be where I conclude my career. It will be a thrill to wear the USA uniform one more time."

Johnson is scheduled to run an exhibition "Swedish Relay" in Japan later in September.
