Inaugural edition of World Athletics Ultimate Championship will feature USA’s Tara Davis-Woodhall in competition and as lead content creator<\/p>\n

Olympic long jump gold medallist and world champion Tara Davis-Woodhall has been announced as an Ultimate Star for the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, due to take place in Budapest, Hungary, from 11-13 September.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to competing at the new global championship, USA’s Davis-Woodhall will bring her social media savvy in serving as the lead content creator in the lead-up to and during the event. She will also have a role in supporting other content creators connected to the championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTara Davis-Woodhall has mastered the balancing act of being one of the best in the world in the long jump and sharing her authentic story with audiences using her own voice,\u201d said World Athletics President Sebastian Coe. \u201cShe has an extraordinary ability to leverage her platforms to create fandom all while pursuing excellence in athletics. We are proud to partner with her as part of the Ultimate Championship, which at its core is designed to showcase our athletes as the multi-dimensional stars they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Championship will mark a triumphant return to Hungary for the 27-year-old. Davis-Woodhall earned her first senior global medal, a silver, at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. She went on to become Olympic champion in 2024 in Paris and followed that up with gold at the World Championships in Tokyo in 2025. Her wins in Paris and Tokyo earned her an automatic invitation to the Ultimate Championship. Davis-Woodhall has been exploring the breadth of her own athleticism in 2026 by also competing in the 100m hurdles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to not only compete but also help shape the stories told at the Ultimate Championship was something I couldn\u2019t turn down,\u201d said Davis-Woodhall. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to see that with the Ultimate, World Athletics truly wants to celebrate all of my passions and interests, whether that is as an athlete or through content creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Athletics Ultimate Championship is designed to settle the debate over who is the best of the best \u2013 with world champions, Olympic champions, Wanda Diamond League winners and the year\u2019s top-ranked athletes all striving to be crowned the champion of champions.<\/p>\n
