Jessica Ennis may be the British athlete who is the focal point of the most pressure and most best wishes. The 2009 World Champion, Jessica showed her class in taking the silver at the 2011 World Outdoor Champs heptathlon and the 2012 World Indoor Champs pentathlon.
In Gotzis, Austria, Jessica Ennis broke 6900 points setting a brilliant new British record. That performance shook up the multi event world and put Jessica Ennis on top of the heptathlon food chain.
Starting tomorrow, August 3, we get to watch Jessica Ennis, for two days, battle the best athletes in the world, as she focuses on doing her best in the heptathlon on the grandest stage of all, the London Olympics.
