Heartbreak at the Olympics? Yeah, Anna Hall knows all about that. This incredible heptathlete, known for her fiery spirit and sheer determination, faced quite the challenge at the 2024 Paris Games. She totally crushed it back home, racking up 6614 points to snag the U.S. title! But then, in France? Not so much. She ended up finishing fifth, which is like, ugh, a total bummer. You gotta wonder what a gal does to break into the top three.
The challenges didn’t stop at the track—off it; Hall has faced her share of ups and downs, including navigating the end of a past relationship. Now, it seems she’s found a spark of happiness with an NFL star, giving her a fresh start while taking a well-deserved break from competition.

Anna Hall and Darius Slayton might be the sports world’s next “it” couple.
Hall isn’t just a beast on the track; she’s got the style to match. Remember her Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoot? Total showstopper. And Slayton?

Their connection seems natural, built on shared challenges and that all-too-familiar grind of elite sports.
Bouncing back together
Both Hall and Slayton know what it’s like to face setbacks. Hall’s Olympic run in Paris might not have landed her a medal, but let’s not forget her silver at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest—earned despite battling a PCL injury. Slayton’s NFL career has had its ups and downs, too, like dealing with injuries early on. But hey, he still put up 740 receiving yards as a rookie. Not too shabby.
