  • Davis-Woodhall stated on social media, "However, a severe concussion and other injuries have not allowed me to train." She is working with her medical team and doctors to recover.
  • Her participation in the Ultimate World Championships in Budapest, Hungary remains uncertain, with athletes competing for $150,000 first prizes at the September 11-13 event.
  • Returning to Budapest holds significance—she finished second at the 2023 World Championships, which fueled her to win the Olympics and worlds in Tokyo in 2025, though her recovery timeline now determines her status.
