Johnson-Thompson set for Anniversary Games

Johnson-Thompson made her Olympic debut in the heptathlon at London 2012, finishing 15th at the age of just 19 as Jessica Ennis-Hill took the title.

Since then she has continued to go from strength to strength, capitalising on Ennis-Hill's absence due to the birth of her son to establish herself in the sport.

The 22-year-old ended 2014 as the world's number one ranked heptathlete while earlier this year she took the European indoor pentathlon title courtesy of a new British record.

She has recently been sidelined with a knee injury but with this summer's World Championships in Beijing the main target, Johnson-Thompson intends to use the Anniversary Games from July 24-25 to sharpen her form in the long jump.

"I'm so excited about the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games, it's going to be one of the events of the year," said Johnson-Thompson, who was victorious in the long jump at the 2013 Anniversary Games.

"The Olympics was my first senior international event and it's such a special stadium for me. It will be amazing to go back to the Stadium and bring back the memories, it's definitely my favourite event of the calendar.

"I'm back in full training and everything is going well. This will be a great test four weeks out from Beijing and I'm doing my favourite event in the long jump."
