Jessica Ennis-Hill to decide on Worlds after London meet

Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill doesn’t want to compete at the World Track and Field Championships in August if she won’t “medal or perform to my best.”

“Nothing is guaranteed in sport, but I don’t want to travel all that way and not medal or perform to my best,” Ennis-Hill said, according to the BBC. “If I’m not quite ready the best thing would be to have a break and get ready for winter training.”

Ennis-Hill has said she wouldn’t decide if she will compete at Worlds in Beijing (Aug. 22-30, broadcast info here) until after this weekend’s Diamond League meet at London’s Olympic Stadium.
