A slight setback has sidelined one of the best multi-eventers in the world for the indoor track and field season.

Anna Hall announced on social media on Monday afternoon that she underwent a successful surgery on her knee, and that she would miss the 2024 World Indoor Championships that’s set to take place in Glasgow.

“Earlier this month I had a small knee procedure… Everything went smoothly, I am already well on the mend, and should be back on the track in a bit,” she said on Instagram. It breaks my heart to be passing on the indoor world championships next month, but this was something we needed to do now in order to focus on the Olympics.”

Hall found great success in the 2023 season in the indoor and outdoor ranks. During the indoor season last year, she broke the American record in the women’s pentathlon at the U.S. Indoor Championships.

At the World Championships in Budapest last year, she took home the silver medal in the women’s heptathlon. She had the best heptathlon score overall last year at the Hypo Meeting in Gotzis, scoring 6988 points, which was also the fifth best performance in world history.

I’m a sports journalist based in Florida and I’ve covered a couple of different sports so far early on in my career, but I love the sport of track and field and the art of running. Everyone has a story and everyone has a story worth telling. My prayer is that the stories of the great athletes of this sport are told, and that the sport grows to new creative heights, so that the sport gets the respect it deserves.
