British athlete Keely Hodgkinson, the Olympic and world indoor 800m champion, is among the headliners. She will be joined by American sprinters Gabby Thomas and Sha'Carri Richardson, both Paris 2024 gold medallists, and Masai Russell. London's hopes rest on Georgia Hunter Bell, the World Indoor and European 1500m champion, and Daryll Neita, a sprint specialist from Lewisham. The seven events include the 100m, 100m hurdles, 200m, 400m, 800m, the mile, and long jump. The winner of each event will receive $65,000 and a Tiffany & Co. crown.
Alexis Ohanian, founder of ATHLOS, stated his intention to create a stage that matches the calibre of London's athletics audience. "London has the best athletics crowd in the world and it has spent this whole summer watching British athletes win," Ohanian said, as reported by This Is Local London. "We're not bringing attention to women's sport in this city. It's already here. We're building the stage that matches it."
