Johnson, 28, has been in the wilderness for two years, suffering with a series of injuries, and lost her lottery funding at the end of last season. But she confirmed her Beijing spot by winning the Olympic trials, a month after achieving the qualifying mark with a personal best of 6.81m at the European Cup. "I always knew I'd be back," said Johnson. "I am a big stage person and for me, it's always been about the Olympics. I was getting down but I'm a fighter." Long jump qualifying is on 19 August, with the final three days later, at 1220 BST. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites |
