‘What the hell was that?’: Johnson-Thompson ties for world championship bronze in remarkable finale

Rare moment of joy for GB athletes amid relay failure
Even after two energy-sapping days, seven thrilling events, and one almighty final heave, Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson sat slumped on the National Stadium track not knowing whether she had won a world championship heptathlon bronze.
As she looked at the giant scoreboard and waited, the American Anna Hall’s name came up first. Gold with 6,988 points. Then Ireland’s Kate O’Connor, with a national record of 6,714pts for silver.
