Ennis-Hill wins World Championships heptathlon gold
Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill has won the heptathlon title at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing.
Olympic champion Ennis-Hill, 29, has competed sparingly since winning in London in 2012 because of injury and the birth of her first child.
But she steadily built a near-unassailable lead over the first six events and then won her 800m heat in two minutes 10.13 seconds to leave Brianne Theisen-Eaton trailing 115 points down in silver and Laura Ikauniece-Admidina 38 points further back in bronze.
Fellow Briton Katarina Johnson-Thompson was second overnight but finished down the field after three fouls in the long jump.
In this clip, our athletics correspondent Mike Costello commentates on the moment Ennis Hill clinched the title.
