JESS THE TICKET

Ennis- Hill can guide stars

DINA ASHER- SMITH and Katarina Johnson- Thompson have been advised to put in a new year call to Jessica Ennis- Hill.

British athletics’ golden girls carry the track and field hopes of a nation into this summer’s Tokyo Olympics.

And athletics great Sebastian Coe believes the world champion duo should consult Ennis- Hill on the pressures that come with being poster girls for sport’s greatest show.

Two- time Olympic champion Coe, right, has warned the pair against changing anything in their training routine ahead of the delayed Tokyo Games.

But the president of World Athletics says his best advice is that they seek out Ennis- Hill for the inside story on how she shouldered British expectation at London 2012.

Ennis- Hill made light of potentially crushing burden den to win gold in the heptathlon on and cap a Super Saturday y for Britain that will never r be forgotten.

Coe, who was in charge of organising g London 2012, said: “Jess ss is the one person I would ould advise them to talk to. She went as the poster child so talking to her would be invaluable.”

Asher- Smith, 25, was crowned world 200m champion in Doha a a little over a year ago and heads to Tokyo as an individual Olympic medal contender for the first time. Johnson- Thompson, 27, won heptathlon gold in Doha but finishe finished well outside the m medals at her two previous Olympics.

Coe says there is no question both athletes have the ability to win in To Tokyo and does not bel believe the postponement will h hurt their chances.

“The one bit of advice I would give is what Jess was clear about – she did not leave her coaching environment, she didn’t play around with variables,” he said.
