Jessica Ennis-Hill finishes third in long jump at Loughborough International

Ennis-Hill makes progress in Loughborough

Jessica Ennis-Hill continued to make progress at the Loughborough International Athletics on Sunday.

The 29-year-old Olympic champion made her return to competitive action in the Great Manchester Games earlier this month following a two-year absence.

In Loughborough, Ennis-Hill earned third place in the long jump with an effort of 6.16m and came sixth in the javelin with a throw of 43.88m.

The heptathlon star is due to compete in the Hypo-Meeting in Gotzis, Austria at the end of May, but she will not be going up against her fellow Brit Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who will sit out the event in order to build up fitness.
