Anna Hall achieved an incredible feat at the 2023 World Athletics Championships despite suffering a knee injury a few days prior to the competition.

During a training session before the contest, Hall sustained a knee injury on the long jump board. She hyperextended her knee and suffered a PCL injury and a bone bruise. Nonetheless, she was determined to compete in the world championships.

Hall shared a video on social media, documenting her journey right from the injury to the World Championships.

"Lots of beauty in the struggle of this sport," she wrote.

"Having the kind of weight of the world on your shoulders when you know you are not 100% healthy and nobody knows that it's not easy. So, I'm just kind of proud of the way that I handled that and just kept fighting," Hall expressed.

In the video, Hall can be seen going through her rehabilitation. She also shared a glimpse of her training diary. The video also shows her physical recovery leading to a victory in Budapest and ends with Hall bursting into tears after securing the silver medal.
