London is to host a star-studded all-female Athlos athletics meeting on 18 September as the founder, Alexis Ohanian, builds towards his dream of it becoming “F1 for track and field”.

Ohanian, who is married to the tennis legend Serena Williams, has added a London date prior to the meeting in New York, which is in its third year and takes place a fortnight later.
