claimed silver at this summers Rio Olympics, four years after winnin

Jessica Ennis-Hill has admitted the fear of signing off on a low was behind her decision to retire last week.The 30-year-old heptathlete announced she was bowing out having claimed silver at this summers Rio Olympics, four years after winning gold at her home Games in London, and two years on from the birth of her first child, Reggie.She had the chance to say farewell to the British public at a parade in Manchester on Monday as an estimated 200,000 battled the elements to witness 350 of the athletes who had spearheaded Team GB and Paralympics GBs medal-laden summer in Brazil.And Ennis-Hill confirmed that she had been dissuaded from carrying on for next years World Championships, which will be staged at the venue of her career highlight in London, because she did not want to potentially end her career in disappointing fashion.My body cant cope with the volume of training that it used to, she told BBC Sport. It was that fear of, Do I push on that one more year and potentially get injured and come away disappointed?Doing the heptathlon, youve got to be 100 percent motivated. You have to want to do the training or youre not going to get anywhere with it.The past couple of years, Ive struggled with injuries and Achilles problems. Id have sessions that would go really well but then Id be injured for a few days later.Do I say, Im in a really nice position here, Ive achieved what I wanted to achieve and more and do I walk away feeling really happy and satisfied? Thats what I wanted to do.While she is walking away from elite-level competition, Ennis-Hills future will remain in sport as she sees herself offering guidance in that field rather than following the well-trodden path into the media.I need to think about what I really want to do, something that I enjoy and that Im passionate about moving forward, she added. I think Ill definitely stay involved in sport in some way.I love getting people into sport, helping people get active and healthy, thats something I enjoy and Im passionate about.TV presenting? Im not sure if thats for me but Im going to take this time to enjoy this moment and reflect, really. Robert Hagg Jersey .

DENVER -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, sidelined since late June with a herniated disk in his back, was moved to the 60-day disabled list on Wednesday.That means the 28-year-old wont be able to return until Aug. 27, at the earliest.Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said the three-time Cy Young winner hasnt participated in any baseball activity since he suffered a setback in a simulated game July 16.He has not thrown, he has not played catch, he has not picked up a baseball, Roberts said before the Dodgers faced the Colorado Rockies.Roberts also said the team hasnt ruled out the possibility of season-ending surgery for KershawRoberts made it clear, though, that nothing has been set in motion.I think that were taking the approach that he is going to get back as soon as he can and when he can pick up a baseball, Roberts said.dddddddddddd But as you can see weve been reluctant from the beginning with Clayton as far as giving him a deadline or timetable.Kershaw was 11-2 and touted a 1.79 ERA before the injury.
