World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis would relish the chance to be the face of the London 2012 Olympics.

The Sheffield athlete stamped her mark on the global stage with a dominant display over two days to take the world title in Berlin less than a fortnight ago.

She led from the first event to the last in the Olympic Stadium to win with a personal best points haul of 6731.

Her victory secured Britain's first medal of the competition and has put Ennis in pole position to be the face of the Olympic Games when they come to London in three years.

That prospect is not something which fazes the 23-year-old.

She said: "Having the year that I've had and after a horrible year last year, I think I'm just taking everything in my stride and appreciating and enjoying everything a little bit more now.

"So if people are talking about me being the face of 2012 then I've not got a problem with that at all. It's great and it's something to really look forward."

Ennis' victory in Berlin capped a remarkable comeback from a triple stress fracture to her right foot which ruled her out of last year's Olympic Games in Beijing.

That injury also forced her to take off with her other foot in the long jump.

But she reported no ill-effects from her exploits in Berlin as she prepares to compete for the first time since clinching the gold medal - and the final time this season - in the 100metre hurdles at the Aviva British Grand Prix at Gateshead International Stadium on Monday.

"My foot's been absolutely fine," she said.

"I'll continue to have scans on it, to keep an eye on it and make sure that there's no stress on any of the bones. But it's been absolutely fine coming out of Berlin."
