After tripping and falling in the first 200m of the women’s 800m at the 2024 U.S. Trials, Mu had hoped to bounce back later in the season. However, injuries forced her to end her 2024 campaign early.In 2025, she made her return at the 50th edition of the Prefontaine Classic on July 5, competing in her first 800m of the season. Athing Mu finished last, clocking 2:03.44. The race was won by Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma.In a post-race interview, Mu expressed disappointment at not having enough competitive races under her belt leading up to the meet.“I was definitely hoping for the win, I was definitely hoping to run fast. I think it definitely sucks not being able to have run a couple of 800s before this. Working out in practice is really great, but when it comes to competition, it takes a little bit more,” Athing Mu said.
