World champ Johnston-Thompson injured in heptathlon

World champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson injured her leg running in the 200-meter race of the heptathlon and was disqualified from the event.

She waved away people who went to help her, got up and limped to the finish line, but was not credited with a time.

Johnson-Thompson won the world championship title at Doha, Qatar, in 2019. She was in fifth place after the 100-meter hurdles, the high jump and the shot put but is now out of contention.

She went immediately for medical treatment.
