Anna Hall reflects on what drove her to Paris Olympics despite serious knee injury in 2024

Anna Hall shared her thoughts on the factors that kept her motivated to achieve her goal of qualifying for the Olympics despite a serious knee injury in 2024. In January of the year, she underwent a knee procedure, which kept her away from the sport for a few months.

However, she eventually made a strong statement to secure first place in the U.S. Olympic Trials in June in the heptathlon, thus earning the opportunity to appear in her first Olympic Games. Ahead of her participation at the Paris Olympics, she was asked about the factors that kept her inspired during an interview with USA TODAY Sports. The heptathlete responded, saying:

“I think what drove me was the people around me. There was a lot of days where I really just didn't think it was going to happen and so, in my mind, I stopped believing and so I feel like the people around me kind of believed for me…Then, just knowing that you know this year is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is my lifelong dream and I missed out on it in 2021.” [0:19 onwards]

“I was like, ‘I cannot not try’. So, I just kept telling myself, you know, if this doesn't work it's going to be because it's physically not possible, not because I didn't do one more hour of PT or like wake up and try the next thing. So, that's what kept me going,” Anna Hall added.

Notably, she missed out on the Tokyo Games after she unfortunately broke a bone in her foot while competing at the 2021 Olympic Trials.
