Description: (British Retired Track and Field Athlete Who Specialized in Heptathlon and 100m Hurdles)

Jessica Ennis-Hill is a retired English track and field athlete. Born and brought up in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, she started training in athletics very early in her life. She developed her very own hurdle-overcoming technique, as a 10-year-old child, and that feat separated her from rest of athletes of her age. At the age of 14, she ended up winning the ‘National Schools Championship’ and proved that she was destined for a bright career in the world of athletics. Her performance improved significantly, when she started her training in heptathlon. She won the gold medal at the 2012 ‘Olympics’, apart from winning the 2010 ‘European Championship,’ and acing the ‘World Championships’ thrice. She currently holds the British national record for heptathlon, and has broken many records in high jump, 100-meter hurdles, and indoor pentathlon. Her achievements earned her the ‘BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award’ in 2017. Hence, she became the first British woman, and the second woman in the world, to be honored with the award, which is considered as one of the top-most awards in the world of sports.
