Ennis-Hill regains heptathlon title
Great Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill won the heptathlon title at the World Championships for a second time on Sunday.
Jessica Ennis-Hill completed a remarkable comeback in her first major tournament for three years by winning a second World Championships heptathlon gold medal in Beijing on Sunday.
The 29-year-old from Great Britain has not competed in a major event since being crowned Olympic champion on home soil in 2012, but she made up for lost time in China.
Ennis-Hill only gave birth to her first child, Reggie, last July and she was celebrating again 13 months on, while her fellow Brit Katarina Johnson-Thompson was reduced to tears as her medal hopes were dashed in the long jump.
Ennis-Hill, who had to settle for a World Championships silver in Degau back in 2011 after taking gold in Berlin two years earlier, held an 80-point lead over Johnson-Thompson after day one of competition.
She closed in on the title with strong showings in the long jump and javelin and got the job done by winning the final 800 metres heat to claim gold six years after securing her first World Championship title.
Johnson-Thompson's hopes of challenging Ennis-Hill ended when she recorded three no jumps in the long jump - her strongest event - and failed with an appeal over the failed third jump to ensure she fell out of contention.
