Anna Hall suffered an injury in 2024 while she was in practice. It was one of the things that hindered her Olympic campaign in Paris. Reflecting upon her recovery, Hall told World Athletics.org:

“It was very painful emotionally and physically. I was in pain a lot of days at practice trying things that I didn’t want to do, but doctors said, ‘If you want to push, this is what we’re doing.’ Emotionally, that’s super, super humbling. The first few days trying to high jump again, I couldn’t do a single-leg hop and I’m like, how am I supposed to jump 1.85m in six weeks? It was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

Hall narrowly missed the podium at the Paris Olympics 2024, but she is hopeful and is looking forward to the LA Olympics 2028. She is eyeing a podium finish in L.A., and winning in her home country will add more value to the achievement.
