JESSICA ENNIS-HILL is confident Katarina Johnson-Thompson can end her Olympic heartache by winning heptathlon gold at Paris 2024.
Johnson-Thompson has failed to capture an Olympic medal during a glittering career that has brought gold at the World Championships in 2019 and 2023, as well as at the 2018 and 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The 31-year-old Liverpudlian finished 14th at her debut Olympics in 2012 – when Ennis-Hill took heptathlon gold in front of a London home crowd – came sixth at Rio 2016 and failed to finish at Tokyo three years ago owing to injury.
