Heptathlon
Yep. That is the heptathlon javelin done.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson only enters one throw, her first effort at 40.46m. Her lead is cut slightly by Canadian Nina Schultz's throw of 43.11m but it still stands at 174 points with one event to go, the 800m.
English 18-year-old Niamh Emerson is in fourth, 109 points behind the bronze medal position.
