The 31-year-old secured silver in Paris today
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has said she hasn't ruled out competing at the 2028 Olympics after admitting she was “grieving gold”.
Johnson-Thompson, the reigning world heptathlon champion, said: “I’m so grateful, emotional and overwhelmed. I’m just trying to live in the moment. The 31-year-old was then forced to pull out of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics after sustaining a calf injury in the 200m.“I feel like after both of them, I had to revamp and sort of change a lot of things to get into this next cycle, so I’m so happy with the three years and the team I’ve got around me. I wouldn’t be on the start line without them for sure and I’ve just got them to thank. It’s all down to them.
Johnson-Thompson’s two javelin attempts were the second and third best throws of her life, while on the first day of competition she set a personal best in the shot put of 14.44m, cleared 1.92m in the high jump – her highest in five years – and ran a season’s best 13.40 in the 100m hurdles.
