Brittany Brown Gets Last Laugh as She Mints More in One Hour Than Tokyo Gold Medalists

American sprinter Brittany Brown emerged as the biggest winner at ATHLOS for a second straight year when she walked away with $120,000 on Saturday morning.

Brown made it a double when she won 100m and 200m at the women-only track event which was paying $60,000 to winners of each event that had 100m, 100m hurdles, 200m, 800m, one-mile and long jump.

Brown might need to find some extra space for her growing collection of Tiffany and Co. crowns after a stellar performance at the second Athlos track and field meet. The all-women showcase provided an electric atmosphere that Brown said fueled her to victory.

"I thrive off of this," Brown commented. "I don’t know, maybe it’s the environment that brings it out of me."

Brown's season got off to a late start following laparoscopic surgery over the winter. After a fourth-place finish in the 200m at the USA Championships, she secured her spot at the World Championships by winning the Diamond League Final in August.

However, she followed her Paris Olympic bronze with a disappointing sixth-place finish at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.

Despite her own doubts, Brown's coach insisted she had more to give. On Saturday, she proved him right, clocking season's bests in both her events and a new personal best in the 200m.

"It’s nice to have a coach who can see stuff that you can’t see," Brown acknowledged.

Brown clocked 10.99 seconds to win the 100m ahead of fellow Americans Jacious Sears (11.01) and Kayla White (11.22), who finished second and third respectively, while in the 200m, she managed a time of 21.89 seconds, a meet record and personal best, ahead of American Anavia Battle (22.21) and Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith (22.65) who completed the podium.

Her wins brought her a total of $120,000 which is nearly double what gold medalists were receiving at the 2025 World Championships.

Each gold medalist in Tokyo was pocketing $70,000 and while she did not win a title, Brown has now minted more from the one-day event than her rivals who became world champions.
