For British heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the road to the Olympics has been eventful, to say the least. Ahead of the Olympics, Team GB’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson opens up to Ellie Pithers for British Vogue’s August 2024 issue.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson rolls up her black Nike parachute pants and presents her left ankle for inspection. It’s a warm May afternoon and we’re sunning ourselves on the red rubber-crumb track at Loughborough University, where she trains six times a week. There’s a three-inch scar on her Achilles tendon, which she ruptured in 2020.
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Thiam, whom Johnson-Thompson acknowledges as “one of the all-time greats”, is the woman to beat this summer, alongside the American hotshot Anna Hall and Dutch supremo Anouk Vetter. But, she insists, “I feel like anyone can take it if they just turn up on the day and they’re in the right mindset.” The key to winning, Johnson-Thompson believes, is to be “adaptable”.
