Athlos: the final sprint of the athletics season will be for women only

Athlos, a women-only athletics event, is taking place in London on Friday night as part of efforts to broaden the sport's appeal. The event is the brainchild of Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, co-owner of Chelsea FC Women's team, and husband of Serena Williams. The meeting is described as featuring several big names and represents the latest in a series of new concept athletics events aimed at attracting fans outside the Olympic cycle.
