Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson will headline the inaugural ATHLOS London meet on 18 September 2026 at StoneX Stadium, the league’s first event outside the United States.

The women's‑only invitational offers more than $2.1 million in prize money, with event winners earning $65,000, a $25,000 championship bonus for overall champions and equity stakes for participating athletes. Ahead of the meet, Hodgkinson posted a popular Instagram beach photo in a leopard‑print bikini, drawing widespread fan attention and underscoring her high public profile ahead of the competition.
