Former Olympic champion Denise Lewis remains convinced that Jessica Ennis-Hill is the favourite for heptathlon gold at this summer’s Rio Olympics.
Lewis told Sky Sports in January that Ennis-Hill had answered a lot of questions about herself after claiming gold in the World Championships last summer, 13 months after giving birth.
And despite injuries hampering both Ennis-Hill's and Katarina Johnson-Thompson's progress this year, Lewis insists the reigning Olympic champion remains the woman to beat in Rio this August.
"I remember being injured weeks before Sydney and battling my way through," Lewis told Sky Sports News HQ. "It just becomes more of a mental battle and trying not to get re-injured at that stage but it can be done.
"To be on that podium, to win again would be great for Jessica and for Kat to be on that rostrum for the first time would be just magical. I think both of them have different things to prove to themselves.
"Jessica has the chance to go into a new stratosphere. I think only Jackie Joyner-Kersee has retained her title. Jess could be the next person to do that.
"And Katarina has had two very disappointing seasons from her perspective. She has something to prove to herself and so it matters to both of them.
"But I wouldn't like to say who is under the most pressure because I think the pressure is equal."
