Not quite world record, but world's best by a heptathlete, and shaved .2 of a second off her PB. A very good start none-the-less.
The javelin tends to be her Achilles heel, so let's hope she build up enough ofa lead to compensate.

Her time would have put her in a dead heat for the gold medal in the 100m hurdles final in Beijing.
Just astonishing for a heptathlete - is it too late for us to enter her for a second event!?!

I kind of expected you to pick boogaloo up for saying she shaved.....

Worlds best is the best ever by someone in the same category as you (I.e multi eventer like heptathlete ennis) and world record is the best ever by anyone

She should enter the hurdles, comfortably good enough to get a medal and plenty of heptathletes have done similar before.

5 Golds and 1 Silver today. GB's best Olympic day ever. 13 Golds so far, China 26, US 25. Considering the US population is 5 times bigger than than the UK and China 20 times bigger that is an amazing amount.

Ennis was amazing today. Her performance puts into shade some of our footballers in terms of skill, attitide and determination. A total pro.

Excellent performance. Thoroughly well deserved, and did well to live up to all the hype.
Also very impressed with Katarina Johnson-Thompson. At 19 years of age, she looks a good hope for the future and has beaten the British junior heptathlon record set by a certain Ms Ennis!
