Katarina Johnson-Thompson's World Championships heptathlon gold followed years of heartbreak at major global events that left her 'broken'.

Ennis-Hill, who has watched Johnson-Thompson since she was competing at youth level, told BBC Sport:"She's changed massively since those days of London 2012.

"I remember doing the lap of honour with the girls in Rio and Kat was broken there, questioning whether she wanted to continue in the event," said Ennis-Hill. "You will have disappointment and real setbacks but there comes an end point where everything eventually comes together. It was the satisfaction of finishing only 57 points behind the Belgian, having also struggled with a calf problem, that gave her new-found confidence.
