Katarina Johnson-Thompson - incredible athlete, and loved her attitude to missing out on the world record by one second in the last event (800m).  Even though she'd won the gold and beaten Jessica Ennis' British record, she wasn't happy that she'd missed out on the opportunity to get the WR.

Going to be good when Ennis is back and the two are going head-to-head in the Heptathlon.

How good do you think she can be? I was discussing this the other day. She looks a little unrefined in several disciplines to me and that suggests huge potential.

Yeah, definitely looks like a "raw" talent still.

Lots of room for improvement in the shot putt that's for sure, but also across the other disciplines. Love her attitude though, and great to have her and Ennis at the top of the heptathlon. Both excellent, but both very different.
