Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Katarina Johnson-Thompson is among the athletes I respect most in track and field. The heptathlon is a brutal test of completeness, seven events over two days that expose every weakness alongside every strength, and she has won it at world level twice. What moves me is the resilience: she has been broken by injury and bad days and clawed her way back each time. Her long-limbed, fluid jumping is a pleasure to watch, all elegance over force. There is a quiet, Liverpool-born stubbornness in how she reached the top. I will keep applauding her, softly but sincerely, for as long as she competes.
