Keely Hodgkinson dominated the women’s 800m at the Athlos meet in London, wearing a dramatic all-black Nike speedsuit she called “pretty sick” as she won in 1:56.40, taking a share of a roughly $1.06 million prize pot (about $65,000 for the winner). The spectacle-event, founded by Alexis Ohanian and featuring Serena Williams, signals Athlos’s bold fashion-meets-sport format and possible league expansion.
Keely Hodgkinson admitted she felt a little nervous walking out in a Catwoman-inspired Nike speedsuit at the Athlos event in London, but the Olympic 800m champion dominated the race, winning in 1:56.40 at StoneX Stadium. The show blended sport and spectacle (fashion, music and red-carpet flair) and Hodgkinson praised the design for combining fashion, speed and science, noting she trained in it and that hair-out was non-negotiable for aerodynamics. The victory came with a substantial prize and underscored the potential for future athletic gear inspired by the kit.
