After dropping a massive heptathlon at Gotzis, and putting together an incredible indoor season, Anna Hall has stamped herself as the future "face" of the sport.
She competes frequently (unlike some of the other stars of the sport) and shows up when it really matters.
Plus she is well spoken and engaging on social media. Could not imagine a more marketable athlete in track and field right now.
I agree 100%. I commented in the Gotzis multi thread on her attitude. She is what the sport needs and it is refreshing to have a personality like her. I love watching her compete and getting so much joy out of what she does.
I do like that she puts herself out there and competes in events against specialists in events. She has already done that this year in the 800, 100h, 60h indoor, 200, 400, LJ, HJ, and will be competing in the Florence DL in the 400h against Femke Bol, Shamier Little, Rushell Clayton, Ayomide Folorunsho, Anna Ryzykhova, Viktoriya Tkachuk, and Gianna Woodruff. I wish that Syd were going to be in the field.
That said, I hope that she isn't competing too much. I assume that Holloway knows what he doing, though.
Agree - Hall should be the face of the sport in the US! She does seven events (eight if 400H is added), competes with amazing frequency (remains healthy) and has a great personality! Good thing she isn’t coached by Wonder Bob!
Agree, definitely she should be getting more attention. I don’t like the way the Brojos go out of their way to hype Sha'Carri Richardson, who represents everything that is bad about the sport.
She’s amazing but hopefully she doesn’t burn herself out with all her competing

She can also run the 100m and 400m. So 10.

Dumb post. She’s here. She is the present of the sport.
God bless the Gainesville Feet Pic Club! That have a great collection of Anna
