Stars of 2009: Jessica Ennis

Age 23, Heptathlete

One of the favourites to win Olympic gold in Carolina Kluft's absence before breaking her ankle, Ennis is now back in action and ready to replace Kelly Sotherton as GB's number one.

Steve Backley says: "After breaking her ankle and missing Beijing she will have fire in her belly and will want to prove a point. It's all about how she reacts but it will be a great insight into her mentality."

Campbell says: "As long as her rehab goes well she'll be able to stay positive and be refreshed.

"Many athletes don't perform well after an Olympics. It can be a flat year but this could be a huge season for her. Some athletes could be suffering after Beijing - but not Jess."
