The heptathlon world champion pulled out of the European Championships in Rome earlier this month.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has played down concern about her fitness ahead of this summer’s Olympics in Paris.
The decision to withdraw was described as precautionary and the 31-year-old was back in action on Saturday at the Microplus UK Athletics Championships in Manchester.“I’m feeling OK,” said Johnson-Thompson after competing in the individual javelin event. “It’s all good. Having already achieved the qualification mark, she is not under the same pressure to perform as other athletes in Manchester this weekend for what doubles as an Olympics trial event.She is entered for the 200 metres and high jump on Sunday but will only be able to compete in one due to a schedule clash.
