    Was there anyone under more pressure at London 2012 than Jessica Ennis-Hill?

    For so long in the build-up to the Games, she had been the face used to sell the dream.

    A year before she had suffered world championship defeat to Russian Tatyana Chernova, but she delivered gold on the biggest stage.

    This year it is a fellow Brit putting her under the pump. Katarina Johnson-Thompson will lead the challenge to her Olympic title.

    They get going at 13:35 BST over the hurdles.
