Golden moment caps Jessica's 'hardest year'

By Reuters | China Daily | Updated: 2015-08-25 07:40

Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, who only decided to compete four weeks ago, regained the heptathlon world title on Sunday after what she described as her "hardest year ever."

Ennis-Hill became a mother for the first time 13 months ago, and had originally intended for 2015 to be a "transition" year to prepare for the defense of the Olympic title in Rio de Janeiro.

The Briton's victory followed a dramatic twist in the day's first discipline, the long jump, when her closest rival, teammate Katarina Johnson-Thompson, scored zero points following three foul jumps.
