Sheffield's Golden Girl Jessica Ennis-Hill considers retirement
Reigning Olympic and World Champion heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill says her career won't continue after the 2017 World Championships.
Sheffield's golden girl Jessica Ennis-Hill says she faces a big decision over when to retire.
She insists there is no chance of her continuing her career beyond the 2017 World Championships in London.
The Olympic heptathlon champion is building up to the defence of her title in Rio and admits she could hang up her spikes after August's event in Brazil.
She said:
I think at the moment I'm just focused on Rio and being the best prepared I can and going out there and seeing what I can do.'
And then it's going to be a decision to make after Rio for me - whether I decide to retire after Rio or whether I decide I want to do one more year and go to the World Championships and retire after that. But I definitely won't be going on any longer than 2017.''
The 30 year old is currently recovering from an Achilles injury which ruled her out of the indoor season but she will head to Rio as the reigning world champion.
She had an impressive comeback victory in Beijing last summer when she took gold in only her second heptathlon since London 2012 and just 13 months after the birth of her son Reggie.
