Women's athletics venture Athlos showcases sport in New York
Athlos offers $60,000 prize money for winners, doubling standard athletics payouts, and attracted 3 million viewers last year while focusing exclusively on female track and field athletes.
- On Thursday, Athlos marked its one-year anniversary with a Times Square long-jump showcase featuring six top jumpers and Tara Davis-Woodhall.
- Ohanian's mission centers on tapping TV and commercial potential for women's athletics, noting track and field draws the most Olympic viewers and Athlos promotes a team-based model.
- Athlos offers $60,000 to winners and distributes 10% of meeting revenue among its 39 participants, a financial incentive athletes cite as meaningful, Ohanian said.
- Athletes praised the event's professional feel and recognition, with Grace Stark calling it `very glamorized` and Athlos drawing some three million viewers last year; Ohanian conceded the venture `has not been a profitable endeavor yet.`
- Athlos plans a 2026 expansion with a schedule due by year-end while aiming for profitability and momentum toward LA 28 amid Grand Slam Track’s collapse earlier this year.
