Ennis-Hill looking for season’s best at Muller Anniversary Games

Ennis-Hill will be returning to the scene of her London 2012 heptathlon success as she joins some of the world’s best athletes, including the likes of Usain Bolt and Mo Farah, in competing at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as they step up their preparation for Rio 2016.

The 30-year-old will be looking to surpass her best 100m hurdles time of 2016, 13.10 seconds, tonight and will also be taking part in the long jump at the Muller Anniversary Games on Saturday.

Ennis-Hill said: “I have been very selective about my competitions, but due to the very strong field in the 100m hurdles in London, my coach (Toni Minichiello) and I felt it was good to have a fast race before heading to the training camp for Rio.

“I love running the hurdles and know there is a quicker time in me this year.

“The competition at the Müller Anniversary Games will be tough, so I am banking on a good crowd to lift me to run a good time.”
