主播大秀

Got to take your hat off to Jessica Ennis, after the huge disappointment of the Olympics injury she has got herself fit again and proved that she was an olympic medal prospect.
She has done well, deserves her success and must be medal hope for 2012.

I was particularly impressed with her 800m run. She could have played it safe, but instead took the race by the scruff of the neck and won it on her own terms. Terrific stuff.

Very happy for her, she seems like a lovely woman and she's so cute. Her 800m was very ballsy considering she didn't have to finish anywhere near the front to take the gold. That shows a lot of heart and confidence.

I was in the stadium tonight and I was an extremelv proud Brit. It was such a gutsy run to go out and win the final event like that. Brilliant stuff

Excumbrian, running 61,71 for the 800m was probably the least measured aspect of Jess' performance. Handling the pressure of being favourite despite not having a world medal previously, or being so far ahead that she was never really threatened - quality.

brilliant!!

Well done jessica ennis. You have made a whole nation very proud indeed.
That 800 m run was amazing!

Got to mention my schoolfriend Louise hazel. Everyone back home is so proud of her to! doing march,cambridgeshire proud!! well done lou! ;-)

roll on 2012!!

Absolute legend, what a fantastic performance from the dynamo. The tadpole came of age and is definately no frog. Definately a candidate for SP of the year.

Well done Jessica!! What a star, what a performer, fully deserved. And humble too. Let her be a role model to all our track and field athletes.

This young woman has it all. She is amazingly talented as an athlete, is technically gifted, and has the perfect attitude to everything that goes on around her. Popular winner with her fellow competitors, natural and determined with herself.

Jess Ennis enjoy these moments for you have earned them. You have the talent to be an all time great. Go for it Jess.

AMAZING! Enjoyed watching the competition!

Jess was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and such a joy to listen to and watch, as well as Louise Hazel. What fantastic role models for our overpampered youth.
But how typical of the 主播大秀 that we get a world champion and they lead with Usain Bolt. OK he shattered the world record, but our very own Jess hardly makes the front page of the 主播大秀's webiste. Extremely poor form 主播大秀, but typical I would say.

Ridiculous idea to have Eva Longoria play her. Jess is waaay hotter.

coolblue1966, this is not a rod with which to beat the 主播大秀 - Ennis was excellent, but Bolt was beyond excellent. Someone will always win gold, but someone won't always destroy not only a world record but the perception of what might be possible in the event. I'm delighted for Ennis nonetheless, she looked every inch a champion.

5'5" tall?
That's astonishing, she jointly holds the GB high jump record !

'Father dad'?

Agree with Beeb, Eva Longoria can't hold a candle to Jess!

Great weekend from Jess. Superb first day (she jointly hols the British High jump record and almost has the British High Hurdles record !!) and then a solid second. 6.29M off a remodelled Long Jump take off and a solid Javelin as well.

Possibly went off a bit fast in the 800M BUT in all honesty with a 12 second cushion she had the Gold unless something happened. All that could really happen was that she might get tripped in a pack so taking off and running clear was actually the best strategy, although a 61 second first lap would have been pretty reasonable for a Simpson, Meadows or Okoro :-))

A bit of a shame for her that the 100M went off next and was earth shattering but she will still have the medal round her neck today to remind her what she achieved.

Talked to her at the Bedford International Games in May. She really is as nice and normal as she appears. A huge asset to British Athletics.

Finally glad she didn't break Denise's record as it will give her something to chase as she now builds to 2012. I'd like to hope she won't be put under too much pressure but fear that is almost inevitable. Lets hope she keeps fit between now and then.

Massive congratulations to Jess - well deserved and excellent performance. A shame that everyone seems to have forgotten about the equally talented/pretty Kelly Sotherton - one injury and she seems to have been forgotten completely. A GB dual between those two would be quite exciting.

Absolutely fantastic achievement by Ennis, changing take off leg in the long jump and still going as far as she did was remarkable. With the age she is she should hopefully peak at 2012 and emulate Denise Lewis' achievements, probably even beat her Commonwealth record as well. Congratulations Jess it was terrific.

p.s. as a footnote coolblue don't be narrow-minded, someone smashing the 100m by a greater margin than anyone before him had since electronic timing was introduced is the biggest news of the day. You may have wanted Jessica's story to achieve top billing but you can't honestly question the decision to give the 100m story the bigger coverage.

Followed Jessica Ennis all weekend and she was brilliant, great performance. My girlfriend gave me a sneidy look last night as the commentator mentioned her offical website had crashed due to the volume of people going on there. Caught me lying on the sofa, it wasn't me! If you're reading this Jessica, I'm willing to take a hit and finish my girlfriend and marry you straight away (if my missus is reading this then I'm sorry but it has been coming for a long time or at least since the hurdles).

How great to have a champion who looks like she enjoys doing what she does. I can't remember a happier looking winner since Martina Hingis first won at Wimbledon. Long may she smile and let's hope it's infectious.

Pure class. Simple as that.

The way she responded to being caught in the 800M was very revealing..shows a woman who will fight..she maybe went off to quick but she was determined to win that race..made me very proud to be British..what a star!!!

On reading another article under the title - Ennis relieved after painful year - leads me to ask just one thing, does this Ed fellow work for Warner Brothers as some of the things coming out of that industry are comic in proportion

If Jessica had blown something up or commit some crime she would not have been British but Jamaican, the same for Dame Kelly Holmes and all the other British hero athletes who have done Britain proud with one or more Jamaican parents.

shes not just an awesome athlete, but is a babe aswell i fancy the pants of her, not that she would look twice at me lol.

Guys..I know she's cute but you really do demean yourselves by all the rubbish about how she looks/how you want to dump your girlfriends for her...

The kid has worked her socks off for years and the biggest reaction is about how she looks! Give her some respect for her accomplishment!

And please - let's have an end to Hazel Irvine et al describing the Heptathlon as 'gruelling' - it's not! It's 7 events, 4 of which require high levels of skill & explosive power lasting seconds, a sprint hurdles lasting 13 seconds, and a 200 (quite fatiguing) topped off with the worst of all the 800. The training is gruelling yes, but the event is pretty minor compared to that.

And yes - I've done it - the decathlon - 10 events - 5 days a week training for 4+ years but the event itself - great fun!

Perhaps the commentary team believe that we are only capable of understanding 'gruelling' and not the technical side of things. Or perhaps they don't feel comfortable in looking at the technique themselves...

Anyone like to make an informed comment on her javelin...?

What a wonderful competition and what a wonderful competitor. Jessica Ennis is a superb role model for all our young women and let's hope they realise that.
Someone wrote "A shame that everyone seems to have forgotten about the equally talented/pretty Kelly Sotherton". I really take issue with that. What on earth has prettiness got to do with anything? Kelly has served the heptathlon and British athletics superbly well over the years but I'd argue that Ennis eclipses her in both ability and promise. Sotherton is after all now over thirty and the clock is ticking. It's perhaps her misfortune that she coincided the peak of her career with the great Kluft. Hopefully I'm wrong and I'd be happy to eat my words.

And as for the person calling themselves inmyownwords, why on earth are you trying to turn this into a race issue? I mean, really.

Coach65. You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. I rescind my sexist comments and realise that her accomplishments as an athelete far outweigh any topic about how beautiful she may or may not be.

Bearing this in mind, your tongue in cheek question about her javelin throwing frankly disappoints and disgusts me. You should hang your head in shame (but don't split up with your wife whatever you do)

coach65

grow up man for petes sake, we know she's a awesome athlete we all sead that, but whats wrong with saying she's hot i think she'd see that as a compliment. and as for saying its not hard to do what she's done is pethetic and should be ashamed of yourself.

Bravo Jess! Another big triumph for a mixed-race kid and a great person!

singingHannahJ I made no mention of race but on nationality or perceived nationality base on achievements or criminality.

Please, for god's sake can people shut up about 2012. It's 3 years away. Let's just celebrate a fantastic performance by a suberb British Athlete in a huge event. There are a million things that can happen between now and 2012 and Jess' chances of success will not be helped in the meantime by people constantly steering her attention a long way over the horizon. There's an old saying - let's cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, well done Jess.

When my newspaper was delvered this morning I fully expected to see a photograph of Jessica Ennis smiling, with the Union Jack draped over her shoulders, but no - it was Usain Bolt. Our media should have been so proud of Jessica's achievment that she should have been the headliner. Hopefully the BAA will use her wonderfull smile as the face for the 2012 Olympics, I am sure all in GB are very proud of you Jessica.

Yes but this blog is about her achievements which are being universally applauded and admired. Usain Bolt is Jamaican, and his achievments are being lauded the world over, and are more high profile than Ennis's even here in her own country.

Ok Guys...her javelin throw IS technically poor - and I really do know what I'm talking about because I've helped coach athletes in the jav to Olympic qualification level. A coach's mindset is to look for improvement wherever it can be found and THAT is what gets athletes onto podiums. It's why we are never happy - always pushing for more and more.

My sport is one of immense skill and dedication, long hard winters training in the ice and snow, exceptionally committed young people who spend hours honing complex skills.

It gets up my nose when it's denegrated down to the level of admiring athletes for being pretty and describing the multi-events as gruelling - they're not! They are demonstrations of skill speed and power - hard work - yes - but mainly a reflection of a massive amount of work and a superb competition mentality.

Hi, Tom, hi all

Thanks for this article. And the comments.

I was / am really very happy for Jessica!! Very WELL DONE!! Was inspiring!

Just hope she stays focused and very motivated to perform ON THE TRACK AND FIELD! Like the 主播大秀 commentators mentioned she has to have a very good team around her now, who to deal with everything else 鈥� media, etc.

So, Jess, concentrate only (or better said 鈥渕ainly鈥�) on the job - you showed all of us - you do best! It is just the beginning, as long as you stay focused and highly motivated to continue with the track and field.

Really hope we see her perform very well on 100m hurdles too! She was very good there!

Keep up the good work.

PS. No. 4 鈥� Jules_d_h 鈥� lucky you : ). I should have taken week off and be in Germany too. World Athletics Championships are very special. Even when it comes purely / only to athletics I prefer them slightly more than the Olympics.

Jess Ennis鈥檚 800m win was brilliant stuff, agree.

(Off to Bekele and Yelena now : ). From Monday evening鈥� WOW?!?)
