Simulation shows who would win a 100m race between Usain Bolt and PSG star Kylian Mbappe
All eyes will be on Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Belgium's Nafi Thiam in the heptathlon contest at Paris 2024, as world champion takes on the Olympic champion this summer.
At 21-years-old, Hall was good enough to be competing in the US Olympic trials for Tokyo 2020. But in the opening event of the women’s heptathlon, the 100m hurdles, Hall crashed into a barrier and broke her foot. The devastating injury meant she was ruled out of the Olympics and wasn’t able to walk unaided until four months after the incident.
Hall turned professional in August 2022, signing a contract with Adidas, before upgrading her world bronze medal with a silver at the 2023 World Athletics Championships. This time she finished behind Johnson-Thompson and ahead of Vetter, continuing her upwards trajectory.
“Yeah, she's better than me,” he told the Tennis Channel in 2022. “She got a bronze medal at the World Championships this year and she definitely keeps me humble. I’m not even the best athlete in my relationship. So, something to work on. The 62-year-old earned an Olympic gold medal in the long jump and heptathlon at Seoul 1988, before successfully defending her heptathlon title at Barcelona 1992. She still holds the heptathlon world record after scoring 7291 points in Seoul.
