The world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson has admitted to uncertainty over her fitness for the Paris Games after undergoing painkilling injections in her troublesome achilles, but she is insistent this is the best she has felt before an Olympics.
Injury caused Johnson-Thompson to pull out of the European championships heptathlon at the start of June after only three events. She missed a fortnight of training and had a number of injections in her achilles, which the 31-year-old says “seems to have settled down now”.
