The Heptathlon GOAT – at no.1 ALL-TIME, it’s JACKIE JOYNER-KERSEE…🙌🐐⬇️
Quite simply, the BEST there’s ever been…JOYNER-KERSEE went over the Heptathlon’s magical 7,000 points barrier 6 times!!! Those 6 marks remain the HIGHEST points totals scored by ANY athlete in HISTORY!!! Her outright World Record is now in its 36th year and she herself held the WR in the prior 2 years!!!👊
Joyner-Kersee’s peak performances were complemented by her dominance of the Heptathlon when it mattered most…2 x Olympic GOLD in 1988 and 1992 [plus 1 x Silver in 1984 – just 3cm shy of Gold!], together with 2 x World Championships GOLD [1987 & 1993]!!!🥇🥇🥇🥇
