Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian's Athlos announces major update featuring Tara Davis-Woodhall

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian's track and meet series, Athlos, recently announced the addition of Olympian Tara Davis-Woodhall to their stellar lineup. Launched last year by the Reddit co-founder, the series also announced the decision to include field events this year onwards.

Tara Davis Woodhall was placed sixth at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic finals in the women's long jump. However, she redeemed herself in Paris when she won gold at the women's long jump event, recording a 7.10-meter distance. An alumnus of the University of Georgia, Davis-Woodhall broke the World U-20 record in 60-meter hurdles at the 2018 NCAA Indoor Track and Field championship, clocking 7.98 seconds.

Athlos announced in a recent Instagram post that Tara Davis-Woodhall will be adding to the already star-studded roster of the event, featuring the likes of Gabriel Thomas. The meet initially featured only all-women's track events, but the 2025 edition will also be adding field events. In an Instagram post, Athlos introduced Tara Davis-Woodhall as the newest face of the league while announcing the latest additions to their event roster and captioned it:

"It’s Track AND Field, and she’s the reason. Field is coming to ATHLOS 2025, and Tara Davis-Woodhall is leading the way."

Tara Davis-Woodhall is married to Hunter Woodhall, who won gold at the 400-meter T62 event at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.
