World Championships 2019: Katarina Johnson-Thompson carries British hopes on day 7 as she goes for gold in the heptathlon. Express Sport is on hand to give you the full schedule on a packed Thursday.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has 'banished demon' says Johnson
Katarina Johnson-Thompson will go for a gold medal in the heptathlon today after Dina Asher-Smith won the 200m for Great Britain last night in Doha.
Johnson-Thompson set two personal bests to set a 96-point lead over defending champion Nafissatou Thiam.
"To end the day on top is really important," she told BBC Sport.
"I've still got three events to negotiate but to end the day on top after a not great 200m, I'm happy to be on top."
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill was impressed with Johnson-Thompson.
"That's how you want to begin a heptathlon," she said. "She got into her running and halfway down the track you saw her get into her rhythm.
"I almost thought Thiam was going backwards, but Kat was just pulling away from her."
