Keely Hodgkinson wins 800m at Athlos London 2026 women's track event

On Friday, September 18, 2026, at StoneX Stadium in London, Britain's Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson won the 800 meters at the Athlos London 2026, the first Athlos event held outside the United States. She finished in 1 minute 56.40 seconds, more than two seconds ahead of the field, despite a recent hamstring injury. The event, created by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, featured individual athlete walkouts, a raised long jump stage, and Tiffany & Co. crowns. American Sha'Carri Richardson won the 100 meters in 10.80 seconds. No world records were set due to chilly conditions.
