At last, Britain has a genuine talent in Jessica Ennis who has just been crowned world champion at this year’s championships in Berlin.

A country starved of natural talent in sports and over obsessed and guilty of making stars out of young “up and coming” sportsmen and women can now be proud of, what I believe, is a true talent who can go on and dominate this event in the near future.

I must admit that, I have never been a great fun of British sports because the press tend to over hype their sports personalities when they are yet to achieve any major honours. However, I sat watching the heptathlon on Saturday morning and the way I saw this young Brit scaling over the hurdles and high jump, I said to myself; “this girl is different”.

She seemed very comfortable in all 7 events and I think there is a very great capacity for improvement as well. She was very focused on every event as well as humble in her attitude when accessing her performances and chances at winning the event.

It is my belief that if Jessica is protected from the inevitable media hype that is bound to follow after her exploits in Berlin and focuses on improving upon this achievement, she will be a certainty for another gold medal in 2012.

In my opinion, to succeed in the Arts and Sports, the number one criteria has got to be the clear evidence of talent and gifting combined with dedication, discipline and hard work. To me, Jessica has got it all and can become a true sporting great.
