After breaking a bone in her hand, the sprinter was unable to do block starts or key weight lifting exercises for weeks. Despite that, Hobbs keeps rolling in 2023.
on February 18, emotions were high as she’d spent months attempting to strike a balance between parenting and training. But her efforts paid off on race day.
After she crossed the finish line, Hobbs fell down on the track and broke a bone in her left hand, close to her wrist. At the time, she hardly noticed because she was so excited about the record. When asked if she was nervous about the procedure and how it would affect the rest of her season, Hobbs said she focused on the opportunity in front of her. “I just need my legs. I can make it work even if I gotta move [my hand] a little funny,” she said. “I’m the type of person that can overcome a lot, so I was just like, we going to get it done.”
In the last few weeks, Hobbs had to make some big adjustments to her training on the track and in the weight room. Instead of doing power cleans and traditional bench presses, she’s been using dumb bells to protect her hand. Instead of using blocks, Hobbs practiced standing starts, which put her far behind training partners right off the line. But she thinks it actually served her because she had to work harder to catch them in practice.
