The heptathlete (left), hinted at retirement both before and after winning a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and Ennis-Hill said her hesitance has come through fear of making the wrong call.
”I have thought about it a lot and I am close to making a decision,” the 2012 Olympic champion told BBC Sport. “It’s a big decision and I don’t want to look back and think, have I made the wrong decision?”
While Ennis-Hill isn’t sure how significant a factor the opportunity to defend her World Championship title in London will be in her decision, she said that the “draw” of a home crowd is a consideration.
