For an Olympic athlete, the window of opportunity is a relatively narrow one. While keeping up with the competition is just one part of the game, the other consists of making sure the athlete has what they need to reach the top of the food chain. And yet, more often than not, struggles and sacrifices go unrewarded at the highest level of the game.

Finishing the second Heat of the women’s heptathlon in fifth place, Hall couldn’t secure a place in the final and had to bow out of the tournament. A post on X by Citius Mag’s Chris Chavez has shed light on how Hall is experiencing a whirlwind of painful emotions in the City of Love right now. “I’m trying really hard to be proud of myself in the moment, but it definitely hurts really bad,” Anna was heard saying after the race.
