Following a remarkable year of athletics for heptathlete Jessica Ennis, from injury in 2008 which resulted in a missed chance at an Olympic medal, to a gold medal at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009, the Sheffield born athlete has been deservedly shortlisted for the Sunday Time Sports Woman of the year awards.

After a phenomenal response from Sunday Times readers, a six-strong shortlist has been compiled, with Ennis coming up against athletes from cycling, swimming and cricket.
