Ennis-Hill, returning to the sport after giving birth last year and battling a series of niggling injuries, was all but gift-wrapped the gold medal in Beijing after Johnson-Thompson failed to post a mark in the long jump.
World champion in 2009, Ennis-Hill capped a memorable two days by storming home to win the final 800 metres heat in two minutes, 10.13 seconds and finish as the runaway winner with a season-best total of 6,669 points at the Bird&rsquo;s Nest stadium.
&ldquo;This is definitely one of the greatest moments in my career,&rdquo; said an ecstatic Ennis-Hill yesterday.
