Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian's Athlos NYC is all set to return for its second edition later this week. The event will take place on Friday, October 10, at the iconic Icahn Stadium.
Besides track and field, the event will also bring a beautiful experience of entertainment for the fans, who will enjoy musical performances from prominent musical artists like Ciara. The 2025 edition of this women's-only track competition will also feature one more event in long jump as compared to last year and will be headlined by the reigning Olympic and world champion, Tara Davis-Woodhall.
Notably, Gabby Thomas will be a major miss this year at the Athlos, as the 200m Olympic champion is currently recovering from an injury, as well as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who withdrew from the event a few days ago. Despite this, fans can expect plenty of star athletes at Ohanian's second edition of the Athlos, such as 100m hurdles Olympic champion Masai Russell. On that note, let's know all the athletes who will feature in the upcoming Athlos NYC 2025.
