Jessica Ennis-Hill looking to qualify for Rio

Jessica Ennis-Hill says that she is fit to compete in her first heptathlon since becoming Olympic champion.  She has recently returned to competition again and has had promising run outs at the Great CityGames in Manchester and the Loughborough International.

She will now travel to Gotzis on 30th-31st May to target a slot at Rio in 2016 with a heptathlon score above 6,200 points.  She said qualifying early for the Rio Olympics would remove "...a real pressure", adding: "All the indicators are looking positive, so I plan to go to Gotzis and give it my best shot."

She has also confirmed her intention to compete in the Sainsbury's Birmingham Grand Prix at the Alexander Stadium on Sunday 7th June.  Looks like Sheffield's Golden Girl is going for it!
