Nafissatou Thiam: A History-Making Heptathlete
Nafissatou Thiam is arguably the greatest all-round female athlete in the history of athletics, standing alone as the only athlete to win Heptathlon gold in three consecutive Olympic Games (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 & Paris 2024). She joins two other athletes Anita Wlodercyk of Poland (Hammer) and Faith Kipyegon of Kenya (1500m) in winning Olympic Gold in 3 consecutive Games. Our Sport Photo Gallery Athletics pictures include a stunning selection of Natissatou Thiam photos - all available in a range of sizes in print only, canvas and framed formats.
A Record-Breaking Career - 3 Olympic Golds and 2 World Championship Golds
The Heptathlon is the ultimate test designed to find the complete athlete - with 7 events over 2 gruelling days - 100 metre hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin and 800 metres - the heptathlon requires a unique mix of speed, endurance, power and the ability to execute the technical aspects of the disciplines under the extreme pressure of competition (mistakes in the opening 100 metres hurdles discipline can ruin an athlete's chances of success). Natissatou Thiam has demonstrated her ability to deliver on the biggest stage with the 3 consecutive Olympic Golds, backed up with 2 further global gold medals at the 2017 and 2022 World Championships. Our Natissatou Thiam pictures include stunning action photos from each of the 7 disciplines - the perfect gift idea to inspire a young athlete with ambitions to be the next star of the heptathlon.
