Anna Hall’s comparison with legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee

The last few performances of Anna Hall have led the sports world to compare her with heptathlon legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Hall is the only woman apart from Joyner-Kersee to break 6,700 point-mark in the heptathlon. This is extremely close to Kersee’s unbeatable 7,291 points from the 1988 Summer Olympics.

Fans and sports experts believe that Hall could be the one to break the legend’s record. Joyner-Kersee herself stated in an interview that the young athlete has the potential to rewrite history books with her energy on the track.

Only upcoming championships can tell if Anna Hall will emerge as the greatest heptathlon athlete of all time.
