Athlos women’s athletics meet debut in London

Overview

The inaugural Athlos professional women’s athletics meet debuted at StoneX Stadium in London on September 18, 2026. Created by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, the event marked the first time the series was held outside of the United States. The competition featured a prize pool of over $2.1 million and awarded winners custom Tiffany & Co. crowns instead of traditional medals.

In the 400m, Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic secured victory with a meet record time of 48.73 seconds. Henriette Jæger finished second, setting a Norwegian national record of 48.78, which was noted as the fastest European time in the event since 1996.

British athlete Keely Hodgkinson won the 800m with a meet record time of 1:56.40. Hodgkinson drew significant attention for debuting a futuristic, all-black Nike speedsuit developed over a year. The aerodynamic garment features a hood with a ponytail cut-out, an open back, and 3D-printed “vortex generators” to reduce drag. Hodgkinson described the suit as a “mixture of fashion, speed and science.”

Other notable winners included American sprinters Sha’Carri Richardson, who won the 100m in 10.80 seconds, and Gabby Thomas, who won the 200m.
