ATHLETES TO WATCH 👑

With up to six athletes competing in each of the seven events, ATHLOS will be bringing track and field’s best and brightest competitors to London — here are a few stars to keep your eye on during the meet.

Keely Hodgkinson - 800M

Hodgkinson will be bringing her 800M reign to headline in her home city. The British middle-distance is no stranger to perseverance. After suffering a hamstring tear in August, Hodgkinson made a comeback at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, taking home the runner-up prize with 1:56.26. The 2025 ATHLOS 800M champ is hitting the track to claim her crown once again.  

Gabby Thomas - 200M

The three-time Olympic gold medalist will be coming to ATHLOS in pursuit of the 200M title, and her resume is one for competitors to consider. Thomas set the tone by running a world-leading 21.70 in the USATF Lone Star Grand Prix 200M. She brought the same energy to this year’s World Athletics Ultimate Championship, winning the semi-final in 21.88 seconds and finishing second in the final, heading home with a silver medal. 

Marileidy Paulino - 400M

Marileidy Paulino’s winning streak is undeniable. As the World No. 1 in the 400M, the Dominican sprinter has seen gold more often than not. Paulino won an Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games with a record time of 48.17 seconds, becoming the first woman from the Dominican Republic to do so. Two years later, she won the 400M at the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship, picking up three consecutive Wanda Diamond League titles from 2022-2024.

Tobi Amusan - 100MH

Tobi Amusan is Nigeria’s first-ever women’s track and field world champion.  Amusan held the 100M hurdles world record of 12.12 for four years, after her win at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. She secured a silver medal during the World Athletics Ultimate Championships after clocking 12.34 seconds. The hurdling star will be looking to reclaim a 100M victory in London.
