Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson has signed up to compete in the Athlos New York City event this autumn.

Athlos is a project backed by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian’s venture capital firm Seven Seven Six.

The 23-year-old will miss the London Diamond League meet this weekend as a result of a hamstring tear in February.

The Briton will compete in the second edition of the all-female athletics event on 10 October but has not raced since winning 800m gold at the Paris Olympics last August.

British 400m record holder Amber Anning – who won two relay bronze medals at the Paris Olympics and the individual world 400m indoors title in March – and American 200m Olympic champion Gabby Thomas are among those participating.

Ohanian is married to 23-time tennis Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams and bought an 8-10% stake in Chelsea Women in May.

The inaugural competition took place last September and was a track-only event but the second will include the long jump, which is set to be headlined by American Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall.

The meet once again takes place at Icahn Stadium.
