Jessica Ennis-Hill to compete in Birmingham
Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill will compete at the Birmingham Grand Prix on Sunday 7 June.
The British heptathlon record holder is planning to contest both the 100m hurdles and shot-put at the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr.
Ennis-Hill created one of the defining moments of the 2012 Games in London as she claimed gold as part of 'Super Saturday.'
It came on the same day as British team-mates Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford, who will also both line up at the IAAF Diamond League event.
Ennis-Hill recently returned to competition following nearly two years out with injury and then to give birth to her first child.
The 29-year old is excited to return to Birmingham, where she has previously won four British titles and set a shot-put personal best of 14.25m in 2011.
She said: "I am really excited to be in a position to announce my participation in the Sainsbury's Birmingham Grand Prix. I feel that my season is really beginning to take shape.
"I am loving being back competing – it is such a good feeling and I have had some incredible support from the public who have come to watch.
"The crowds are always amazing at the Alexander Stadium and I am hoping there will be a really good turn out on June 7 to help me along!"
