Guest Speaker: Katarina Johnson-Thompson
We are delighted to announce that we will be joined by the local legend
Katarina Johnson-Thompson who will be just as excited as us to be enjoying
the hospitality at her beloved Anfield.
Best known for her excellence both on the track and in the field
as a multi-eventer KJT is no stranger to success. The two-time Olympian
has an impressive athletics resume which includes bedding
crowned as the World Champion Heptathlete in Doha, Qatar 2020
and most recently winning the heptathlon at the 2022
Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
KJT burst onto the senior stage in 2012. Having won the gold medal
at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona she prepared
for what would be a breath-taking experience in front of an electric
crowd at the London 2012 Olympics. On her Olympic debut at just
19 years old Kat, as she’s known to friends and family, racked up
an impressive 6,248 points to finish in 15th place.
Having spent the first 23 years of her life in Liverpool KJT moved
to Montpellier, France, in 2016 to focus on her athletics and now trains
under the guidance of Bertrand Valcin. Although based away from
home her mind is never far from her family, her dogs (Bronx and Chorizo)
and her beloved Liverpool Football Club. Whenever she’s back in Liverpool she prioritises
those three things and gets to watch the Reds play in conjunction with her
roles as a patron of the Barrie Wells Trust and an Ambassador of the LFC Foundation.
Host: Peter McDowall
Our event will be in the capable hands of our host for the day, Peter McDowell.
Peter is LFCTV’s Lead Presenter as well as a commentator and LFC pitchside announcer.
