Serena Williams's daughter, Olympia, adorably interviewed Gabby Thomas as both attended the second edition of Athlos, which took place on October 10, 2025. Thomas, who won a silver medal in the 200m event in 2024, was sidelined this year due to a health setback. Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit, has often been vocal about how track and field doesn't get the required attention year-round, except in the Olympic year and at the World Championships. He recognized the gap in the women’s domain and launched the female-only Athlos in 2024 with the support of his venture capital firm, Seven Seven Six.The first edition featured World and Olympic champions, with Gabby Thomas as the headliner, who also played an integral role as a co-advisor-owner of the league. Fresh off her triple gold medal-winning performance, the 200m specialist ran in her signature event but finished in silver behind Brittany Brown. This year, although she skipped participation due to an Achilles tendon injury, she remained deeply involved in the league’s development. She even met the host’s daughter, who interviewed her adorably, shyly avoiding eye contact with the sprinter."Do you like Athlos?" asked Olympia. "I love Athlos. Athlos is my favorite women's sporting event of all time," Thomas replied.
