Days after missing the Paris Olympics, two-time world champion Abby Steiner recently gave her fans a sneak peek into her visit to Lexington, Kentucky. Steiner is a 16-time state individual champion and holds four high school track and field records.
The 24-year-old athlete missed the opportunity to participate in her first Olympic Games this year in Paris after she failed to qualify for the competition in June. She finished sixth in the 200m qualifying finals during the trials and missed out on one of the top three spots needed for the ticket to the Paris Olympics. Shortly after the trials, she announced an injury setback in August and took a hiatus from track and field.

In a recent update, Steiner took a trip to Lexington, Kentucky, and shared pictures of the same on her Instagram stories. The first picture showed a lush garden featuring tall trees and a sunny blue sky in the background.
"A weekend in Lex was good for the soul" she wrote in the caption.
In the second picture, the runner flaunted a horse tattoo on her left arm while showcasing a gold ring and a bracelet.
The former Dublin Coffman High School and Kentucky runner further dropped a selfie, a picture of a bottle of wine, a glass of red wine, a cocktail with an olive garnish, and a short video of a band performing in Keeneland. Lastly, she shared a picture of herself sitting on a metal chair, wearing a black-and-white checkered dress paired with cowboy boots.
"Desperately wanted this to be the comeback season" - Abby Steiner reflects on her 2024 season
After missing the Paris Olympics, Abby Steiner penned an emotional note on her Instagram handle, reflecting on the events of the last year that ultimately led to her missing the major competitions.
August 2023: Haglunds surgery on my left foot. September 2023: Haglunds surgery on my right foot. So desperately wanted this to be the comeback season of my life and gave it everything I could to make it happen. To put it simply, it didn’t," she wrote.
"Thanks to those who continue to believe in me regardless of the outcome. It hasn’t been an easy journey these past couple years but I’ll be back. Psalm 73:26" she added.
Steiner, however, had lauded her fellow athlete Anna Hall after she qualified for the Paris Olympics.
