Heptathlete Jessica Ennis and 1500 metre runner Lisa Dobriskey are to follow up their success at the Athletics World Championships in Berlin by taking part in the British Grand Prix in Gateshead on August 31st.

Ennis was the only female gold medal-winner in Germany, while the middle-distance runner took silver in her event.

Dobriskey commented that she always enjoys competing at Gateshead and predicted that the 1500 meters would be a tactical race this year because of the anticipated weather conditions.

She added: “It will mean so much to come back to the UK from Berlin as a medallist, particular after the Olympics last year and just missing out.

“I like competing at Gateshead and last year they let me do a lap of honour there, which was so nice and I really enjoyed that and soaked it up.”

Earlier this week Ennis claimed that she is looking forward to finishing her successful season on a high at Gateshead, in front of her home crowd.
