Ever wondered what it's like when athletes step out of their comfort zones and into the spotlight? Well, meet Anna Hall, a heptathlete who's doing just that with her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. This isn't your average athletic feat; it's a whole new ball game—or rather, beach game!

Hall, hailing from Denver, is among the fresh faces gracing the 61st issue of SI Swimsuit. She's not just a track star but also a collaborator with big brands like Adidas and Nulo. Her journey to the swimsuit issue is as inspiring as her athletic career.

Imagine this: you're a world-class athlete, then an injury dashes your Olympic dreams. That's what happened to Hall. She collided with a hurdle during the 2020 U. S. trials, shattering her navicular bone. But she didn't let that stop her. After surgery and a tough comeback, she showed the world what she's made of by winning bronze at the 2022 World Athletics Championships and setting records in the pentathlon.

 Fast forward to 2025, and Hall is posing for a photo shoot with renowned photographer Ben Horton in Boca Raton, Florida. She's not just an athlete; she's breaking boundaries and showing young girls that they can be both leaders and athletes.

Hall's family has been her rock, with her dad being a former athlete and her sisters following in their family's footsteps. Her story is one of resilience and perseverance, inspiring others to push through setbacks and reach for their dreams. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has welcomed her with open arms, and her fans can't get enough. They're thrilled to see Hall shine in a new light, proving that athletes can do it all!
