Jess Ennis is super hot and super fast.

She really REALLY is.

Amazing.

I was worried about the pressure on her, as I can't even imagine what she must be going through, but she appears to have taken it all in her stride.

Ennis stormed her 110m hurdles heat and set a new World Best time.

And she's fat? replace the a with an i

She looked nervous as hell when she walked out, I bet that win was a massive confidence booster though.

Oh is it? Never knew that.

How come? Actually, its probably better to ask why the men's event is 110m?

FTM · 3 Aug 2012 at 10:48

matches the time of the winner of the individual event in Bejing 2008

has she considered entering individual events herself do you think?

I'm not entirely sure, can only presume it's for stride length or something.

She does do them now and again.

I wouldn't be surprised if she does specialize in it after she retires from Heptathlon

Yea 10 for both, although they are lower for the women.
