RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN GOTZIS: Perhaps she was being a little harsh on herself. Having admitted that she still feels like an 'impostor' at the highest level, she made a mockery of her words.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson arrived in Austria with doubts in her mind and left on Sunday night having maybe implanted a few in someone else.

Before Jodie Comer played the ruthless assassin Villanelle in the hit show, she honed her skills in drama classes at the same Liverpool school attended as the indoor pentathlon champion.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Katarina Johnson-Thompson is talking about recognition and the time it can take for some folk to see what is so clear to others.

Her haul of 4,138 points puts her 96 clear of the Olympic champion from Belgium, which is not unusual - the configuration of this event is such that she usually has the best of day one.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN DOHA: After all the squirming and falling and doubting and fouling, the Kat finally let herself out of the bag. The 26-year-old can now officially call herself the world's best.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN DOHA: There were tears before bedtime for Katarina Johnson-Thompson and a few more after breakfast on Friday morning.

Johnson-Thompson could break the 12-year-old European heptathlon record, according to the former champion who played a major role in the transformation of her career.

The heptathlete, 26, shared a sun-drenched snap of herself to Instagram on Monday posing on an idyllic sea swing.

The Eagles are low on fire-power with Christian Benteke, Connor Wickham and Alexander Sorloth all having problems - be it form or injury - and Roy Hodgson is desperate to add some attacking threat.

The CSKA Moscow legend played in a trial game with Chelsea during the early days of his career. Avram Grant was in charge of the Blues at the time and was not convinced by the Russian midfielder.

Former Chelsea man Branislav Ivanovic may well have ambitions to become a coach one day, and unintentionally took to the big screen in Zenit St Petersburg's recent match to show off his tactics.

It seems Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte is a big fan of toilet humour. For the US swimming champion released a video in which he explains he can only pass water in the swimming pool.

Created by The Second City Network, a Chicago-based comedy company, the humorous video is titled Ryan Lochte Is Terrible At Commercials.

US swimmer wasted no time celebrating his victories at the 2012 London Games.

Known for his rock hard abs, diamond-encrusted smile and questionable interview skills, Lochte has filed for ownership of the word in anticipation of a line of merchandise.

The 28-year-old was spotted filming a cameo on the hit CW series after deciding to dip his toe in the acting pool.

He is currently revelling in his success at the London 2012 Olympics and the stardom that comes with it.

Fresh from his triumphs in London, where he won two golds, two silvers and one bronze medal, the American swimmer took to the pool in Las Vegas.

It has been reported that Lochte's team are negotiating the large fee simply to just organise talks with the gold medalist and ABC, and the payment could easily rise to $1million if the network are interested in him.

On Live! With Kelly and Michael this morning, he was once again showing off his gold medal muscles when he lost a fun quiz to Kelly Ripa and her brand new co-host Michael Strahan.

The GCB star went hell for leather to attend the Rebecca Minkoff show and sported a black dress which clung to her petite figure.

The attractive pair met at shoe designer Brian Atwood's party at the Four Seasons restaurant last Wednesday and have been seen together at several events since.

It looks like Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte and Miss USA Olivia Culpo are diving into a romance after they were pictured snuggling next to each other once again

While sounding like he’d swallowed a bit too much pool water, comedian Seth MacFarlane, hosting the night’s premier, poked fun at the star athlete while channelled his best Lochte impressions.

Although it comes almost two months after his August 3 birthday, the sportsman took advantage of a knees-up at LIV nightclub inside Miami, Florida’s Fontainebleau resort.

ESPN's 'College GameDay' host Chris Fowler asked the swimmer who he thought would win today's game between the LSU and Texas A&M. And Lochte chose Auburn, who weren't even playing.

Turns out a swimming pool isn't the only place Ryan Lochte likes to go fast. The gold medal winner was pulled over by cops in Gainsville, Fl., who clocked the swimmer going 49 miles-per-hour in a 40 mile-per-hour zone.

Scientists now say the admission by Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte during the summer Olympics about urinating in the pool is really not such a bad thing.
