Overview
- World Athletics granted Athlos New York City Gold Label status in its second year, a designation for events meeting elite fields, strong organization, safety standards, global media reach, and anti-doping compliance.
- The sold-out event at Icahn Stadium blended competition with spectacle, with Serena Williams presenting custom Tiffany & Co. crowns and Ciara delivering a high-energy performance.
- Winners named in coverage included Masai Russell, Marileidy Paulino, Keely Hodgkinson, Faith Kipyegon, and Tara Davis-Woodhall.
- Athlos highlighted athlete-first economics, including instant $60,000 winner payouts, and competitors described the experience as empowering and making them feel seen.
- The 2025 edition added field events, secured Ion as a domestic broadcast partner and Brooks as presenting sponsor, and the organization plans a team-based league in 2026 with star advisor-owners.
