Another magnificent triumph, another beaming smile and another coat of varnish on the golden girl image; here was an athlete now really beginning to radiate a bit of an aura both on and off the track. Who did she remind us of? Hearing her bubbly and disarmingly modest reflections on a victory at the European Championships which confirmed her pre-eminence as the world’s finest all-round female athlete here in Barcelona, Ennis’s predecessor irresistibly came to mind.
Yes, she could be as good for her sport as the great Carolina Kluft. Ennis could not help breaking into a laugh when the comparison was made. After all, Kluft was a force of nature, the charismatic Swede who won nine consecutive gold medals in major championships before turning her back on multi-events.
