'Lympic Ladies #12 - Jessica Ennis

There's been plenty of positives to come from the build-up to the Olympics - the comedic planning errors, the blanket coverage on the Beeb, Boris Johnson. But perhaps the finest side-show in the months preceeding the Games has to be the non-stop presence of the ubiquitous face of British track and field - Jessica Ennis.

The Sheffield heptathlete is quite possibly the most multi-talented, versatile female athlete on the planet - and does it all while looking damn fine. Petite and exotic, eloquent and polite, funny and charming when she needs to be, Jess has the whole package.

Sure, it may be a little humiliating. After all, it's not all that nice to know that your girlfriend can run faster than you, jump higher and farther, throw things better, whatever. She's probably unbelievable at FIFA and everything. But if she looked like Jess, you'd probably get over it.
