Tobi Amusan to Compete at London Athlos Meet
Tobi Amusan, a hurdler and former world record holder, is set to compete at the Athlos meet in London against a strong field that includes world indoor record holder Devynne Charlton and former world champion Danielle Williams. The event will take place at StoneX Stadium in Barnet.
Athlos, a professional, female-only track and field meeting series, was created by Alexis Ohanian and has a total prize purse of $2.1 million. Athletes can earn up to $65,000 in each event, with an additional $25,000 for overall champions.
Amusan was confirmed for the meet in August, while reigning world record holder and Olympic champion Masai Russell withdrew shortly after winning the Diamond League. Other competitors include Alaysha Johnson and Megan Simmonds.
Athletes will also have the opportunity to receive equity in the league, which aims to elevate their status akin to Olympic recognition.
