Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Taliyah Brooks share world bronze in the heptathlon at the Tokyo Championships. Johnson-Thompson, emotional after the competition at the same stadium where she faced Olympic disappointment in the past, secured her fourth global heptathlon medal. The tied result at 6,581 points makes them the first heptathletes to share a world medal, with Anna Hall winning the title and Ireland's Kate O'Connor taking silver. This event adds to Great Britain and Northern Ireland's successful medal tally at the Championships.
