In the history of athletics, Jessica Ennis-Hill is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Jessica Ennis-Hill as British heptathlete.
Jessica Ennis-Hill was born at Sheffield in 1986. Her recorded nationality is United Kingdom.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
She competed at 2012 Summer Olympics, athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
Formal honours included the Commander of the Order of the British Empire and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (2017).
That the career was built from United Kingdom matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Jessica Ennis-Hill is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
