While the Paris Olympics are now a distant memory, the athletics track is poised for a spectacular comeback. On September 26, Athlos NYC will transform Icahn Stadium into a showcase of speed with the highest prize money ever awarded in athletics. Athlos, backed by Alexis Ohanian’s venture capital fund, has been renamed from the 776 Invitational and aims to “the hidden treasure of sport.” The event is not just a race, but a celebration of female athleticism and resilience.
Fresh from winning three Olympic gold medals, Gabby Thomas will shine alongside other track and field stars such as Faith Kipyegon and Alexis Holmes. This high-profile meet is the perfect platform for Thomas to build on her success in Paris and once again step into the spotlight. Recently, Thomas shared her excitement for the upcoming race on Instagram with the caption: “Back again today! Next race ➡️ @athlos in New York on September 26th 🤗”. Their enthusiasm reflects their willingness to take on new challenges and continue their impressive momentum.
