Katarina Johnson-Thompson is one of Team GB’s leading medal hopes on the track at this summer’s Tokyo Olympic Games.

The heptathlete claimed her first global outdoor title when winning gold at the World Athletics Championships in Doha in 2019.

However, her build-up to the delayed Games in Tokyo has been badly hindered by a serious Achilles injury and she will have to be back at her best if she is to topple defeding champion and long-time rival Nafi Thiam.

What events is Katarina Johnson-Thompson competing in?

Johnson-Thompson is the British record holder at the high jump and her clearance of 1.98m in the heptathlon at at the 2016 Olympics would have been enough to take gold in the individual event.

But while the 28-year-old regularly competes in single disciplines on the circuit, she has long since made multi-events her sole focus at major championships and she will again only compete in the heptathlon in Tokyo.
