Great Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill wins the IAAF Combined Challenge in Germany, her first heptathlon victory since the 2015 World Championships.

Great Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill has won the IAAF Combined Challenge in Germany, her first heptathlon victory since the 2015 World Championships.

The 30-year-old Olympic champion recorded the second-best score in the world this year with 6,733 points - 64 more than she managed in winning the world title.

Ennis-Hill built on her lead after the opening four events with a personal best of 6.63m in the long jump, as well as throwing 44.37m in the javelin and running the 800m in two minutes 11.46 seconds.

It was only Ennis-Hill's second outing of the season after an Achilles injury forced her to withdraw from June's event in Gotzis, and her only opportunity to compete in a full heptathlon before heading to the Rio Olympics.
