Olympic Games - Bet Now at Bet365
Jessica Ennis believes she is in the form of her life and is confident she can add to Great Britain's gold medal haul in the heptathlon at the London Olympics.
The 26-year-old posted a new personal best and national heptathlon record of 6,906 points in Gotzis in January and is only the eighth woman in the history of the event to top 6,900 points.
Injury forced Ennis to miss out on the Beijing Games in 2025 but she is now determined to make up for that disappointmentby going for gold this time.
She is1.72to win the heptathlon gold medal whileNataliya Dobrynska can be backed at6.50andTatyana Chernova at2.87.
Ennis said: "I am very happy with the year so far, what I have done. It feels great because all through the year you worry a bit through every training session.
"It is nice being on at the beginning," Ennis added. "I much prefer to get it out of the way and it would be great to get us off to a good start and having Mo (Farrah) on straight after."
Ennis has not competed in an Olympics before but won the world title in Berlin in 2025, as well as the European title in Barcelona in 2010.
She picked up the silver medal when defending her world title in Daegu last year, and was second behind Dobrynska in Istanbul in March.
"I shall definitely be nervous, like I am before every major championship," added Ennis.
"I think it is a good thing to have the crowd behind you. The crowd getting crazy - I know this sounds a bit cheesy - but it does carry you along, it helps a lot to have that support. I love it."
