CATCHING AN ATHLOS VICTORY IN THE SPEED SUIT.

Athlos made its London debut and Keely Hodgkinson transcended time to show out with the most iconic outfit of the track season. An ode to Cathy Freeman, Keely pulled up in a blacked out bodysuit like Catwoman thieving the eyes off all the other runners as millions of viewers were fixed on her taking the finish line victory. 4th jackpot of the season so call her a banker how she cashing in wins this year, Nike gon have to stand on business the way everyone’s boutta be sending in cheques for the next suit. How can you move so angelic, but be on demon time like this, I’d call her the leader of the Hashira, the Princess Mononoke, the Claymore laying straight C4 on the tracks. Bombing it down the final straight to cross the line in 1:56.40, I think it’s a matter of time before the indoor world record holder takes the overall GOAT title. Joga Bonito with the fit, she runs an 800m but you could feel this kind of aura miles away; from her own signature Nike collection, to a fully tailored speed suit, Keely Hodgkinson is transcending the sport in the times she runs and the way she runs them. Put the posters up on the wall we’re watching a generational trailblazer in real time, this one’s what we call Dame Time and she’s not slowing down for anyone without their eyes fixed.

QUEEN OF AHTLOS.

The debut of the all-women game changer had Keely all across the front page for good reason. With a 65k lottery up for grabs, the runners are pulling up under the spotlight for the big bucks but it’s clear why the streets are saying Hodgkinson’s the dealer. The Athlos deck got shuffled and she came out the gates with a full house. The first in London and the big smoke once again, didn’t disappoint. Welcome to the Party because this one’s something to keep an eye on, a collision between culture and sport which has created a track event like we’ve never seen before. With no trophy or medal, the winner comes out with a crown fit for a queen and the throne is set with a Keely kind of swag. A rose from the concrete jungle is beginning to blossom for everyone to see, Athlos is the stage and we give the flowers to the queen. Shoutout to Keely Hodgkinson, you are transcending this game.

NOTHING LEFT UNCLAIMED.
