Olympic and world champion long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall suffered a concussion in a head-on car collision while heading to a training session last week.
Davis-Woodhall revealed her injuries in a call with reporters and on social media Wednesday. She said her status is uncertain for next week’s Ultimate World Championships, where athletes will compete for $150,000 first prizes.
Davis-Woodhall said she was going around 20 mph in a parking lot when another driver going about the same speed turned into her.
“Luckily, I walked away without any major injuries,” she said on social media. “However, a severe concussion and other injuries have not allowed me to train. At this point I’m working with my team and doctors to get healthy.”
The 27-year-old was planning to return next week to Budapest, Hungary — the place where she finished second at the 2023 world championships, which stoked a fire that led her to win the Olympics the next year, then worlds in Tokyo in 2025.
