Grace Stark’s Story From A Devastating Leg Injury To Now Becoming A World Championship Bronze Medalist

Grace Stark’s Story From A Devastating Leg Injury To Now Becoming A World Championship Bronze Medalist

A year ago in Paris, Grace Stark made her Olympic debut and finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles. It was a taste of the big stage and a “delayed but not denied” moment, as she put it. In Tokyo, she delivered on that promise.

Stark stormed to a bronze at the 2025 World Championships with a time of 12.34 seconds. In one of the deepest fields in championship history — featuring Olympic champion Masai Russell, world record holder Tobi Amusan and reigning champ Danielle Williams — Stark emerged as the only American to reach the podium and just edged out Russell to claim Team USA’s lone medal of the night.

For Stark, the medal is proof of resilience. After a devastating injury at Florida nearly ended her career, she fought her way back to be among the world’s best. Now, she’s a global medalist and her story may just be beginning.

She joined Chris Chavez and Anderson Emerole at the CITIUS MAG HQ to talk about it all.
