Katarina Johnson-Thompson faces Anna Hall among others in the big combined events meeting this weekend in Austria as Damian Warner heads the men's line-up<\/p>\n

Some of the best decathletes and heptathletes in the world will descend on G\u00f6tzis this weekend (May 31-June 1) for the 50th anniversary of the famous Hypomeeting.<\/p>\n

Katarina Johnson-Thompson leads the British interest with the 2019 and 2023 world heptathlon champion attempting to win in G\u00f6tzis for the third time. She is joined by Abi Pawlett in the heptathlon while Lewis Church, Sammy Ball and Jack Turner are in the decathlon in an event that is live streamed by Eurovision Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnson-Thompson limbered up for this weekend's big meeting with a 13.57 (2.2) for 100m hurdles and 40.74m for javelin at the Loughborough International earlier this month. In G\u00f6tzis she faces Anna Hall, the American who won impressively here in 2023 before undergoing knee surgery in the run-up to the Paris Olympics, where she finished fifth.<\/p>

Johnson-Thompson took silver in Paris last year behind Nafi Thiam of Belgium, the latter being one of the absentees this weekend.<\/p>\n

Other heptathlon contenders in G\u00f6tzis include X\u00e9nia Krizs\u00e1n of Hungary, the 2021 G\u00f6tzis winner, plus Adrianna Sulek-Schubert of Poland, Annik Kalin of Switzerland and Sofie Dokter of the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Warner leads the decathlon entries and is going for an incredible ninth victory in G\u00f6tzis. Now aged 35, he failed to clear a height in the pole vault in the Olympics last year but will be hoping for better luck this weekend as he takes on world champion and fellow Canadian Pierce LaPage.<\/p>\n
