TOKYO, Aug 5 ― Belgium’s Nafissatou Thiam successfully defended her Olympic heptathlon title today, a task made easier by the withdrawal of British world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
That was followed up by 6.60m in the long jump, 54.68m in the javelin and 2:15.98 in the final, strength-sapping 800m. Injuries and the Covid-19 pandemic meant it was the first time Thiam and Johnson-Thompson had contested a full heptathlon since their clash at the Doha world championships in 2019. It left the 28-year-old, a former European champion who finished 10th at the Rio Games, needing to beat Thiam by 4.5 seconds in the 800m.And unfortunately for Vetter, it proved too much as Thiam kept up a steady pace for the two-lap finale.
As for Johnson-Thompson, she admitted it would take a lot for her to bounce back from yet another setback.
