Alexis Ohanian drops promising update about Athlos 2.0
In 2024, Alexis Ohanian brought his entrepreneurial expertise to the track and field world. The Reddit co-founder announced the launch of ‘Athlos’, the first-ever track meet focused solely on female athletes.
The first edition of the event featured some of the biggest track stars in the world, including Olympic champions Gabby Thomas, Masai Russell, Faith Kipyegon, Marileidy Paulino, and more. The event was a major hit amongst fans and athletes alike, and Ohanian soon revealed that Athlos would be back in 2025.
Recently, the 42-year-old shared a promising update about Athlos 2.0. Taking to X, he shared a snap of his laptop screen paused on a race from Athlos, writing,
“Rewatching with my pen. So much that we’re excited to improve in the production of @athlos NY this year 🙏.”
The first version of Alexis Ohanian's Athlos featured only track events. However, Ohanian has already announced that the second iteration of the competition will bring in long jump into the mix, with Tara Davis-Woodhall scheduled to headline the event. Other big names that will feature in the competition this October include Thomas, Russell, Paulino, and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn.
