Olympic champion Davis-Woodhall ends her season after car crash

American track and field athlete Tara Davis-Woodhall, who holds both Olympic and world championship titles in the long jump, has announced that she will no longer compete this season.

The decision comes after she was recently involved in a car accident. Details about the circumstances of the crash and any injuries she may have sustained have not been made public, but the incident was enough to prompt her to end her season early.

An early end to the season

Davis-Woodhall is one of the world's leading long jumpers, and her absence from the remaining competitions means fans will not see her in action this season. She confirmed the decision herself in a statement, without revealing an exact return date or further plans.
