- Heptathlete leaps to 6.60m in long jump at London Stadium
- ‘I want to be back to my best for the Olympics’
With confidence growing and a smile becoming an increasingly regular presence, Katarina Johnson-Thompson believes the good times are back – and she intends to prove it by winning a world medal next month.
The former world heptathlon champion has endured frequent misery in recent years since winning a first global title in 2019. The pandemic robbed her of the chance of a quick follow-up at the Olympics before she sustained a serious achilles rupture at the end of 2020. Johnson-Thompson then failed to finish at the delayed Tokyo Games and aborted a new life in the US after just five months.
