After clinching world indoor and Commonwealth titles this year the heptathlete has set her sights on more success in Berlin
It is one of Katarina Johnson‑Thompson’s earliest memories. The TV on, a Gary McAllister free‑kick swishing into Alavés’s box, then – moments later – what felt like a sonic boom across Liverpool as her beloved team clinched the 2000‑01 Uefa Cup, and a treble, with a stunning 5-4 golden-goal victory in Dortmund.
Seventeen years later Johnson‑Thompson is hunting a treble of her own on German soil. The world indoor (pentathlon) and Commonwealth titles have already been chalked off in 2018. Now only a heptathlon gold at the European Athletics Championships, which begin in Berlin on Monday, remains on her bucket list for the year.
