Sha'Carri Richardson expressed her thoughts on Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian's question about joining Shark Tank as a guest shark. The co-founder of Reddit launched his own all-women track meet, 'Athlos', last year, which featured some of the fastest athletes in the world and also offered a massive paycheck to the winners, addressing the issue of track athletes being underpaid.
A week ago, Athlos announced that it had bigger plans for the 2026 edition of the track meet and revealed that it would be featuring a team-based athlete-led track league. Olympic medalists Sha'Carri Richardson, Tara Davis Woodhall, and Gabby Thomas joined the league as the advising owners.
Sha'Carri Richardson spoke about being an advising owner at Athlos and shared that she was excited to take up the new role and hoped to participate in the development of track and field. Recently, Alexis Ohanian asked his fans whether he should join the popular show Shark Tank as a guest shark.

The inaugural edition of Athlos, held in New York City, received a great response from the fans for featuring some incredible races on the track as well as the performance from Megan Thee Stallion after the conclusion of the event. Ohanian wanted the event to have a fan-focused approach as he hoped to make the sport popular among the masses, with the vision of making it successful like other leagues such as the NBA and the NFL.
As Richardson announced her decision to join Alexis Ohanian's Athlos as an advising owner, she spoke to ESPN and opened up about the impact that it would have on her track in the future. She expressed her pride in taking the right step towards empowering people both on and off the track.
"I take pride in doing what is right for people. Joining ATHLOS as an advisor-owner gives me the opportunity to create something that genuinely empowers people both on and off the track," she said.
The new format of Athlos featuring Sha'Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas, and Tara Davis Woodhall as advising owners is set to debut in 2026, and the 2025 edition of Athlos is scheduled on October 10 at the Icahn Stadium in New York.
