The pressure on jess was immense. She was the gold pin up girl. She was on 100ft banners on buildings and busses etc and yet where that was to much for some she was as cool and focused as can be. Epic.

This still gives me goosebumps even 6 years on. The roar from the crowd as she enters the home straight, taking the lead in the process and everyone knows she is the Champion is a glorious moment. What an incredible 45 minutes that kicked off, 3 gold medals in the stadium, 6 in total for us that day.

This is still my favourite Olympic moment. Jess Ennis is so inspiring. She was at her best in the earlier heats and then she was passed by the then heptathlon world champion, she reached into her reserves and powered her way into the first place for the greatest gold medal win in British history. It still makes me cry watching her give it all. She taught me to never ever give up. Thank you Jess.

This was brilliant watching live, she's from my own home, Sheffield and so it made the win all more enthralling, I've met her and she is a great inspiration!

After winning the worlds again this year, must be our greatest ever sportswoman and she's from the steel city! I'll be voting for you again as the bbc's sports personality of the year Jess, can't believe you aint won it yet.

Jess was amazing! All the pressure of being on all the 2012 advertising campaign.

For me, the outstanding memory of the 2012 Olympics was Jess Ennis winning the 800mtrs to win gold.. She will always be remembered as a Brrtish legend.

watching it again during Tokyo Olympics. love this moment.

London's crowd is the best London Olympics was the best ever!!

Seeing British glory in front of a home crowd is enough to inspire anyone

Congratulations Austra Skuyte.

10 years ago today and it's gone so fast.Super Saturday was a fantastic day for British sport and Jessica winning this gold was my favourite part of it.

I am Five years late but OUTSTANDING Jess Ennis well done. And a TOP LADY to boot.

this vid is so nostalgic. I remember Jessica was my HERO at the time. she still is

Chernova was only world champion at this point because they hadn't banned her for being a doping cheat. Jess was given that title in retrospect. I don't care what KJT or Nafi Thiam do in the coming years, Jess will always be the greatest heptathlete of the modern era.

I was honoured to meet her 3 weeks ago at a book signing! My signed book has been put aside as a Christmas present! X

The ultimate comeback- injury in Beijing… GOLD in London.

And second in Rio 16! Well done Jessica, should be so proud of yourself with 2 medals in the Olympics, Gold & Silver.

Also now 3 World Heptathlon titles.

She is from my home! Sheffield. My cousin used to train in the same gym as her and her auntie teaches in the science department at my old secondary school 💕

Jessica was fabulous. She made our nation proud - she has discipline, hard work and tenacity throughout her core - a brilliant young lady the UK must cherish.

What a beauty!

Still astonishing 9 years on!!

lovely lady much class

Britain’s second finest hour!

Ennis in my opinion is the best female track and field we have produced. With all the pressure coming into London as favourite and the face of the games other athletes might have crumbled under the pressure, but with Jess it spurred her on and she won easily in the end! Great performance!

LEGEND. Xx

Wow this made me tear :')..

What a girl as the face of the games the pressure must have been tough but she knocked it out of the park can't remember before or since a better games

Almost 10 years ago now. Like the Pink Floyd song 'Time' says "and then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you" 😢

Brilliant, on a zoom with Jess at the moment which brought me here..

seen her today training

love jessica well done gal

come on jessica gogogogogogogogogogogogogo

The strange thing is Jessica Ennis had never been to London before the Olympics. She's a proper Yorkshire lass.

my inspiration

I like Jessica Zelinka. She is my friend already.

This girl is insane

شباب والله

Congrats to you and your husband Jessica!

YOU areMy dream girl my favorite athlete .....God bless you

Chernova got Bronze not Silver but she has now been disqualified

So glad chernova was found out to be a cheat and jess was given the gold for 2011 World championship

raelly my cousin is her best friend

I am Jessica Ennis' BIGGEST FAN!!

Ennis is a babe : )) so proud of her !

sargentaaron was ridiculing the fan mime-running. I don't see what that has to do with being American or British. That comment doesn't come across as jealous.

Gorgeous lady.

When was this, was it years ago

Well said matt. I had to give that American a little lesson. The earth orbits the (sun) not (America). Short but sweet. Proud of my fellow British (men/women).

If jess had just equaled 1 personal best she would have won gold in rio and but for injury she would have won gold in Beijing

Brits know how to celebrate victory of one of theirs. This lady was celebrating our new British Olympic champion. oh wait you're American! It's not all about America! No need to get jealous!

Jess Ennis is too modest and does not appreciate how the nation felt when she won the 800mtrs in the 2012 Olympics, winning Gold. She's a legend. In the UK we have a multicultural population and we all love Jessica Ennis.

Heptathlon is a multi-discipline athletics competition where athletes compete in 7 different events over 2 days to find the best female all round track and field athlete. Events are 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, long jump, javelin and 800m. The equivalent for male athletes is the decathlon which is 10 events over 2 days.

I think it's a tropical disease

She isn't an idiot and I don't think she was much embarrassed, I think you've just missed the Brit humour in it ;)

Chernova didn’t win silver. She didn’t even get bronze.

Probably the most subdued commentating I've ever heard, haha..

Also, there is no evidence that that women is even British - she's not holding a flag or wearing a shirt that gives a hint as to her nationality. She could be French for all we know. And how his comment could be construed as American arrogance is lost on me.

Also, you (plastic) Americans would know all about that :-)

ah well at least she knows how to have fun in life... you?

Isn't that the drugs cheat in 3rd? I think she also stole the gold in the Worlds the year before and then had to hand it back.

seen her today training
