The 31-year-old is going in search of her first Olympic gold medal
It says something about Katarina Johnson-Thompson that she still believes in fairytales when she heads to the Olympic Games. ‘KJT’ has twice been crowned world heptathlon champion and become a household name. But lady luck has repeatedly deserted her when Olympic summer rolls around, meaning she heads to Paris 2024 in survival mode.
She uprooted her life to Montpellier in the south of France to work with highly-rated multi-event coach Bertrand Valcin and the gamble looked to have paid off when she captured World Championship gold in Doha. Johnson-Thompson put in a stunning, 6981-point performance, laced with personal bests, that broke Ennis-Hill’s British record and installed her as one of Team GB’s biggest hopes for Japan.
