Olympic and World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill has an Achilles injury and will miss the winter indoor track season but is hopeful it won’t impact trying to repeat as gold medalist at the Rio Games.
Asked by Sky Sports if the injury could put her Rio participation in question, she reportedly said:
“At this stage I’m hoping that’s not the case. We’re still in February, there’s a lot of time before the Olympics.”
Ennis-Hill, 30, won the World Championship on Aug. 23, capping a comeback after taking all of 2014 off to have a baby.
