She also competed in the long jump where she managed to jump 6.16m (PR  6.51) and 8th place. After the competition Ennis-Hill that there will be a decision made about the worlds.

"Up until now we have been focusing on managing the pain so I can train and get myself in shape to go out there to win in Moscow, which has meant not focusing on finding a cure for the injury," said Ennis-Hill.

"The time has now come to stop chasing fitness and look to cure the problem. I am so glad I got to compete in London last weekend as it gave me a clear picture of where I am, and it is definitely not where I want to be both regarding pain and also form.

"To say I am gutted is an understatement, no athlete likes to miss the opportunity to compete at a major championships, they don't come round that often." she concluded.
