Overview

• Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Gabby Thomas delivered standout performances in their respective races, with Thomas winning the Long Sprints category and $100,000 in prize money.
• Despite high-profile athletes and significant prize incentives, the event saw sparse attendance in a 35,000-seat stadium, raising concerns about its initial impact.
• Organizers responded to the low turnout by offering free entry to students and discounted tickets, aiming to improve spectator numbers during the second and third days.
• Logistical issues, including a scheduling conflict with another major event in Kingston, contributed to traffic congestion and difficulties for fans trying to attend.
• The series, designed to revitalize track and field with a Formula One-inspired format, will continue with upcoming events in Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles through June 2025.
