KJT BACK ON TOKYO TRACK

KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON declared she had written a “better story about the city” after putting her Tokyo trauma behind her.

- 

The heptathlete bagged a joint bronze medal at the World Championships yesterday, four years on from Olympic heartbreak in the same venue when a calf injury in the 200 metres ended her Games.

Johnson-Thompson was fourth heading into the final event, the 800m, but a time of two minutes 07.38 seconds drew her level on 6581 points with American Taliyah Brooks.

Another American, Anna Hall, was crowned champion with 6888 points and Ireland's Kate O'Connor took silver with a national record of 6714.
