Denise Lewis sends Paris Olympics message to Katarina Johnson-Thompson following Commonwealth gold

Team GB great Denise Lewis has urged Katarina Johnson-Thompson not to quit before the Paris Olympics following her Commonwealth gold.

Johnson-Thompson claimed her first heptathlon title for three years after successfully defending her Commonwealth Games crown at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on Wednesday night.

The Liverpool-born 29-year-old triumphed with 6377 points ahead of Northern Ireland’s Kate O’Connor, who took silver, and England team-mate Jade O’Dowda, who claimed bronze. It is Johnson-Thompson’s first victory since winning the world title in 2019.
