Why we love Jessica Ennis

Jessica Ennis is something of a national treasure. She’s one of those British athletes that has been bucking the previous trend and isn’t utterly shit. In fact, she’s not just one of those who is a plucky Brit who does alright with a good attitude but ultimately falls short either; she’s actually bloody good. And not just at one thing, at a shedload of different things. She’s blatantly the type of person who was just ace at everything in P.E.

Apparently her parents wanted her out of the house more often during the summer (wonder what they were up to), so they sent her off to an athletics day in Sheffield when she was ten, and within a year she was part of the athletics club. Throughout her junior years she was winning pentathlons all over the shop, but then she won the 2005 European Junior Championships heptathlon and people realised she was really rather good. Yeah, the heptathlon. That’s SEVEN different disciplines, which are: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin and the 800m. We’re tired just writing that.

FHM used to think it was good at the long jump at school, but that was because it was fun leaping in to sand and everyone jumped about 2 metres. Jessica, however, jumps a lot further, runs a lot faster etc. In fact, after her 2005 win she went on to win bronze at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, but three stress fractures in her foot kept her out of the 2008 Olympics just as she was beginning to deliver on her potential. She came back even stronger though, becoming World Champion in 2009 and European Champion in 2010.
