Current situation and review
Currently Katarina Johnson-Thompson is number one in the heptathlon and is aiming for a comeback for the World Championships in September in Tokyo. However, this goal is made difficult by the injury and the resulting competition break. The start list for the hypometing was finalized before it failed, which makes it impossible to move into the top 10.
