Heptathlon final scores; Nafissatou Thiam reclaims world title – World Championships 2022

The following are the completed scores for the women’s Heptathlon at the World Athletics Championships on Monday (18) with Belgium’s double Olympic champion Nafissatou Thiam scoring 6947 points to reclaim her world title in emphatic style at Hayward Field.

Thiam entered the final event of the competition 19 points behind Anouk Vetter of The Netherlands, but the 27-year-old produced a personal best of 2:13.00 in the 800 meters to resist the challenge of her Dutch rival and improved on the silver medal she won in Doha in 2019. Thiam also won the world title in 2017.

“I worked really hard on the 800 so I knew I could do a good time but think I needed that extra push of someone behind me,” Thiam told reporters.
