Great Britain's Katarina Johnson-Thompson was forced to withdraw from the pentathlon at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Belgrade.
The 29-year-old was unable to complete the heptathlon event at the Tokyo Olympics last year due to injury and made it through the high jump, shot put, 60m hurdles and long jump event on Friday.
However, Johnson-Thompson was visibly distraught as she failed to clear her 1.86 m high jump attempt and was sixth in the standings after four events before pulling out of the 800m.
The 2018 World Indoor pentathlon champion nevertheless insisted that she 'triumphed' in Belgrade, telling BBC Sport: "For me this is a triumph - I can take so many positives from this.
"I'm not scared to come out here and get beat. The most important thing was to not risk injury. Looking to the summer, this is the best preparation for me. I truly believe it's competition rust.
"This has been six to eight weeks full training and I'm in good enough shape to contend. It has definitely motivated me for the summer and it's what I needed. I needed to come out here and get stuck in because I haven't in such a long time."
Fellow Brit Holly Mills just missed out on a podium finish in the pentathlon as she ended up in fourth, as Belgium's Noor Vidts took the gold, Adrianna Sulek of Poland claimed the silver and Kendell Williams of the USA scooped the bronze. body check tags ::
