Olympic champion targets Rio 2016 medal after baby news

Jessica Ennis-Hill will miss the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow later this year after announcing that she is pregnant with her first child.The Olympic heptathlon champion, who married long-term partner Andy Hill last May, told fans of the news in a short statement.‘I have some very unexpected but exciting news to share – Andy and I are expecting a baby,’ said Ennis-Hill.‘We are completely overwhelmed, with excitement and a degree of anxiety that I am sure all first time parents will relate to.’Ennis-Hill says that, while the news has affected her plans for 2014, she is determined to return and compete at the Rio Olympics in 2016.‘My plans for 2014 have been completely turned upside down, but having had a couple of weeks to think about things from a career point of view I am 100% set on returning to full time athletics once our baby is born and go for a second gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 – that challenge really excites me.‘But in the short term I will make our baby a priority and enjoy the whole experience as much as possible.’(metro.co.uk)ANN.Az
