Coming off a 30-medal performance at the world championships, U.S. track and field athletes will have a chance to compete in London again next summer in a new event called "The Meet."
USA Track and Field and British Athletics announced Wednesday their teams will go head-to-head on July 21, 2018 in the London stadium that hosted the world championships, which ended Sunday, and the 2012 Olympics.
"The Meet" will feature running, jumping, hurdling and relay events in a two-hour competition. Athletes from Britain and the U.S. will score points for their countries in nine events.
"Team competition captures the attention of fans in a way that brings excitement, attention and focus to our sport," USATF CEO Max Siegel said in a statement.
