Tokyo-Anna Hall became the second winner of the United States of the World Heptathlon title-joining the Jackie-Cersie-was hovering into the Finnish line on Saturday to wrap a wire-to-wire endurance test and celebrate his biggest victory.
This is the first major title for the hall, which is one of the world’s most consistent artists in the seven-part incident after calls and disappointments of years.
Three years ago in the Worlds, he won the bronze. Two years ago, he lost the title less than 20 points, falling less than 2 seconds in the last incident, 800 meters, taking gold. Then, last year, she was forced to return from an Akilis injury to get ready for the Olympics, where she was in fifth place.
On the 8 days of the World Championship in Tokyo, a cool quiet evening, the hall finally made it to the top.
Among his biggest fans, Jionar-Karsi himself is, who has said that he sees the capacity for 24 years from Colorado, which is still to re-write some of his history.
The Jeionor-Carsy Olympics (1988, ’92) is the only American athlete to win the event and recorded the world record since 1988 and his winning in Rome in 1987 at the World Championship.
The hall cracked a 7,000 point mark in a meeting in June and saw a run in JJK’s record in two days in Tokyo.
Any hope went away from a least long jump, but the overall result was never in doubt as it ended with 6,888 points. The hall went to the final program, with a 122-point gains at 800 meters, Ireland’s last silver medalist Kate O’Coner, and one of the fastest runners in the 20-female race, none of the catching it.
Defending champions Katrina Johnson-Thampson ended in a rare tie for third place with American Taliah Brooks. They separated both of them in 800 separately with 6,581 points.
