Katarina Johnson-Thompson aims for her first Olympic medal in the heptathlon at the Paris 2024 Games, needing an exceptional 800m performance to surpass reigning champion Nafi Thiam. Johnson-Thompson has a history of Olympic heartbreak, finishing 14th in London 2012, sixth in Rio 2016, and withdrawing due to injury in Tokyo 2020. Despite these setbacks, she has excelled at other major events, including winning the World Championship in 2019 and 2023. Off the track, she has navigated personal challenges, including the loss of her father in 2017, while maintaining strong support from family and friends. Johnson-Thompson also maintains a long-distance relationship with British hurdler Andrew Pozzi. Her quest for Olympic gold continues with the decisive 800m event scheduled for 7.35pm UK time.
