Katarina Johnson-Thompson has revealed how Jurgen Klopp , Liverpool and her 'guardian angel' Denise Lewis inspired her to claim her first Olympic medal. KJT was just seconds short of claiming gold in the heptathlon, but couldn't have done much more having run a personal best in the 800m final eventBut she ultimately had to settle for second place, losing out to Belgian rival Nafissatou Thiam but the narrowest of margins - just two seconds.
“I’m so tired, I hardly had any sleep, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to string a sentence together this morning, to be honest," she said.“It’s so hard, especially the timetable of this champs, particularly. Yesterday was a really tough turnaround. We had long jump and then we had to go straight over to the javelin and then maybe have an eight-hour wait just stewing on what you had to do and what you had to run in the 800m.
And there was also a touching moment between Johnson-Thompson and mentor, British athletics legend Lewis, after her silver win.
