Overview
- Tara Davis-Woodhall led the Times Square long-jump qualifier at 6.81 meters, setting the stage for Friday’s main program at Icahn Stadium.
- Friday’s meet features stars including Faith Kipyegon, Keely Hodgkinson and Masai Russell competing for $60,000 winner’s prizes, payouts through sixth place, a $250,000 world-record bonus and a 10% revenue share.
- Athlos says prize money will hit athletes’ accounts within minutes via Cash App, with anti-doping tests conducted and contractual clawbacks if positives occur.
- Founder Alexis Ohanian said Athlos retained Toyota and Tiffany & Co., added Cash App, and expects revenue in the millions this year, though the venture is not yet profitable.
- A multi-meet team format is planned for 2026 with athlete owner-advisors Tara Davis-Woodhall, Gabby Thomas and Sha’Carri Richardson, positioning Athlos as a reliable alternative to Grand Slam Track’s troubled 2025 season.
