WINNER: Jessica Ennis was in top form as she won the 60m at the Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham

JESSICA ENNIS will go into the World Indoor Championships next month in sparkling form.

The golden girl of British athletics sped to a stunning 60m hurdles success at the Aviva Grand Prix at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham to confirm he statues as one of the finest athletes from the UK.

Ennis took 60m glory in a personal best time of 7.87 seconds to even surprise herself.
The Sheffield athlete said after her win: “I didn’t expect to run that quickly at all. I feel in really good shape and the hurdles have been going really well.

“To run 7.94 or something like that I would have been really happy with, but to run that much under my PB is just brilliant. I could feel Danielle (Carruthers) right there on my shoulder.

“It’s great to have that competitiveness and someone right there beside you, it pushes you on. I’m on a massive high now so I just need to compose myself before the long jump.”

Ennis’ attention will now turn to the World Indoor Championships which take place in Istanbul from March 9-11.
