SuggestedLeadIn: Katarina Johnson-Thompson falls out of contention of the heptathlon at the World Championships in Beijing, China.
Script: British heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson's medal hopes are over after she fouled out of the long jump at the World Championships.
Johnson-Thompson recorded no jumps in the first two of her three attempts but then appeared to have rescued it with a huge leap in the third.
But after protracted and despairing discussions the 22-year-old was ruled to have marginally fouled that one too.
With zero points from the fifth discipline her competition was effectively over after five events despite a later Team GB appeal.
Johnson-Thompson almost fouled out of another of her strongest events, the high jump, on the first morning; only clearing the relatively modest 1.80m at the third and final attempt.
All eyes now turn to the much-anticipated 100m semi-finals and final, where Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin will be hoping to fly to the gold medal in the Bird's Nest.
