And Ennis-Hill will be at the London Anniversary Games next month in her final outing before defending her crown in Brazil.
She will compete in the 100 metres hurdles and the long jump at the two-day Anniversary Games, which kick off at the Olympic Stadium — the scene of her London 2012 glory — on July 22.
The Sheffield star, 30, fired a major warning to her rivals by recording her best heptathlon score since setting a personal record at London 2012.

Ennis-Hill, who also smashed her long jump best in leaping 6.63m, said: “I have been very selective about my competitions but, due to the very strong field in the 100m hurdles in London, my coach and I felt it was good to have a fast race before heading to Rio.”
She plans to train alone in Europe for ten days before flying directly to Rio and competing on the opening day of the athletics programme on August 12.
