Abby Steiner’s 2025 Injury Blow: Can the Sprinting Sensation Make a Comeback?
Abby Steiner, the American sprinting prodigy, faced a significant setback in 2023 due to a persistent heel injury that required surgeries on both feet. This forced her to miss the World Championships and the 2023 U.S. Championships, where she had previously secured a fourth-place finish in the 200m event. Determined to return stronger, Steiner underwent surgeries in August and September 2023 to address the issue .
In 2024, Steiner made a remarkable comeback. She opened her season with a victory in the 400m at the Gamecock Invitational, clocking 51.58 seconds, her fastest time across all sections of the event . Later, at the Tom Jones Invitational, she ran an impressive 11.05 seconds in the 100m, marking her fastest season opener ever . Her performance at the USATF Bermuda Grand Prix was equally commendable, winning the 200m in 22.71 seconds, just shy of her personal best of 21.77 seconds .
Steiner’s resilience and determination have made her a strong contender for the 2025 season. With her consistent performances and unwavering commitment, she is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming competitions. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if she can reclaim her position among the world’s elite sprinters.
