Jessica Ennis wows London

Jessica Ennis has said that although winning gold at a home Games will be hard to beat she still has more she wants to achieve in her discipline:

Jessica Ennis has said how hard the second day was and how she had to try and, "not get too carried away, but I was so so nervous, and excited as well."
