Jessica Ennis: heptathlon Olympic champion
A
There have been many great Olympic athletes in recent years, but few have been taken to their country’s heart
quite as warmly as gold medal winner Jessica Ennis. Her quiet determination to succeed, her good humour
when faced by setbacks and the absolute joy she showed when finally becoming Olympic champion have all
contributed to this, as has the difficulty of the sport she has chosen to compete in: the heptathlon. This involves
turning in world-class performances in seven track and field events over two days. At first sight, Jessica – at just
1.65 metres and 57 kilos – may seem an unlikely winner of such a physically demanding sport, but once the
action begins it soon becomes clear she has the speed, strength and endurance to beat anyone.
В
Jessica recognises that her normally easygoing nature is transformed into something much fiercer when she has
to compete. She knows that success only comes from being highly motivated and totally focused on each event.
In her autobiography Unbelievable, she talks of the way she was picked on at school by bigger girls because of
her background and lack of size, and how that has made her determined to succeed, particularly against taller
and stronger athletes. She also points out that she is not from a particularly sporting family and that her sister
‘absolutely hates sport’, but says she was introduced to athletics by her parents, who have continued to give her
encouragement and support throughout her career as an athlete. Her mother was born in the UK and her father
in Jamaica.
C
She gets on well with her family, as she does with her husband Andy, saying she dislikes conflict and wherever
possible avoids arguments with people. The only exception is her trainer Chell, with whom she has a row ‘every
day’. And although Jessica is a psychology graduate, she is unable to explain how she acquired the tremendous
self-discipline that has enabled her to keep training to Olympic gold medal standard while so many others have
given up along the way. Of course, at that level nothing can be taken for granted, as she discovered when a
sudden injury put her out of the Beijing Games. She describes that as the lowest point in her career. Typically,
though, Jessica bounced back, and once fit again began training just as hard as ever.
D
By the time of the London Games in 2012 she was in the best shape of her life, and on this occasion she was
fortunate enough to remain free of injury. Some of the times she recorded in the heptathlon were so fast that she
would have achieved good positions in the finals of track events such as the 200 metres. That brought to mind a
race won two years earlier against the world champion, who couldn’t believe she had lost to someone who
trained for seven different events. Since the London Olympics, Jessica has continued to take part in
competitions, receiving numerous awards including World Sportswoman of the Year. She has also featured on a
special postage stamp and has had a post box in her home city of Sheffield painted gold in her honour.
Part 5 You are going to read an article about a sporting event. For questions 31-36, choose the answer
(А, В, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.
A hop, skip and a jump away
‘I want you warming up. Do some bouncing on the grass while you wait to sign in.’ It was Paula, our coach. I
wasn’t too keen on this idea, knowing it would only tire me. My eyes met those of my three fellow triple-
jumpers. We all sighed in agreement, all wanting to conserve our energy. Nobody moved. What’s more, I
needed to qualify for the state championships. It was all I could think about. I had to jump twenty-nine feet, six
inches to do this.
The sun was bright in the cloudless sky as I looked down the runway to the sand-filled triple-jump pit. Sounds
of feet pounding on the track and cheers filled the air. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine it; the perfect jump.
I’d only recently taken up this event and wished I’d had more practice. It’s so much more than a hop, skip and a
jump. It’s a take-off. The announcer’s voice boomed, ‘All triple-jump girls please sign in now.’ About nine of
us meandered down to the pit where he was holding a clipboard and measuring tape.
Waiting for my turn, I checked out the competition, seeing who had the longest legs or greatest muscle tone. My
legs were still aching a little from the hundred-metre hurdles. I stretched them out, feeling the lump in my left
one, the remnants of a pulled muscle. When I heard my name called, I began to feel nervous. What if I didn’t
make it? This was the last chance to qualify and I had three jumps to do it. I bounced on my toes as I watched
the girls before me jump. Analysing their form, you could see those who didn’t have enough momentum from
the board.
Finally my turn came. I stepped onto the runway and found my chalk mark. Steadying myself, I narrowed my
eyes and took a deep breath. Pushing off my back foot, I lunged forward into a sprint. One, two, three, four, five
and by six strides I was on the board. The actual jump is hard to remember; a one-legged hop, a skip and a long
jump into the hot sandy pit. A long breath escaped me as I stepped out of the pit and waited to hear my
measurement. ‘Twenty-eight feet, five-and-a-half inches’ called the clipboard guy.
I walked down the runway to be met by Paula, and was thankful for her kind face. ‘I want you to try something.
Alright? Where’s a relaxing place for you?’ ‘In the water, I guess. Swimming.’ It was the first thing that came
to mind and I didn’t realise how silly it must sound. ‘Perfect’, she responded. ‘Right before you jump, I want
you to imagine you’re in the water, just floating, OK?’ I agreed, smiling to show my appreciation. I paced until
my name was called again.
‘Pirog, you’re up!’ I closed my eyes and imagined the water running over me, soothing me. My muscles relaxed
and I exhaled as I pushed into take-off. This sprint felt loose and free. When I took off from the second board, I
was sure my first phase was too high, that my second was chopped, and my landing wasn’t quite what it should
have been. I stood up, shaking off the sand as the officials drew out the long measuring tape. The suspense was
killing me.
‘Twenty-nine feet, ten inches.’ I couldn’t stop myself from screaming and jumping into the air. My team-mates
rushed to me, I was encircled and soon my hand stung from the force of all the customary high-fives. It was a
relief finally to have made it and my success couldn’t be put down to sheer luck. My face ached from smiling
but I knew I wouldn’t stop. I found Paula and ran to hug her. ‘That was all thanks to you.’ She smiled in return:
‘Thank the water.’
