Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian acknowledges the importance of women's sports
Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, has been a major advocate for women’s sports, investing in several women’s teams and recognizing the impact of female athletes. In 2024, he launched Athlos, a groundbreaking all-women’s track and field meet, further demonstrating his commitment to supporting women in sports.
This groundbreaking event is setting a new standard with an unmatched prize pool—winners of each competition will take home $60,000. No track and field meet has ever offered a prize of this size before.
On September 26, 2024, the inaugural edition of the event took place, showcasing Olympic champions like Gabby Thomas, Faith Kipyegon, and Alexis Holmes. Ohanian aimed to establish it as a regular fixture on the sports calendar. In an interview with Inc., he said:
“These athletes are special. They are phenomenal, some of the fastest humans on the planet. They shouldn’t disappear outside of the Olympics….At a minimum, we want to make this the marquee track meet of the year. Our ambition is big.”
The American added:
“No one has ever seen anything like Athlos before. We had to get people to believe in a dream and a vision.”
