Jessica Ennis-Hill has admitted the fear of signing off on a low was behind her decision to retire last week.The 30-year-old heptathlete announced she was bowing out having claimed silver at this summers Rio Olympics, four years after winning gold at her home Games in London, and two years on from the birth of her first child, Reggie.She had the chance to say farewell to the British public at a parade in Manchester on Monday as an estimated 200,000 battled the elements to witness 350 of the athletes who had spearheaded Team GB and Paralympics GBs medal-laden summer in Brazil.And Ennis-Hill confirmed that she had been dissuaded from carrying on for next years World Championships, which will be staged at the venue of her career highlight in London, because she did not want to potentially end her career in disappointing fashion.My body cant cope with the volume of training that it used to, she told BBC Sport. It was that fear of, Do I push on that one more year and potentially get injured and come away disappointed?Doing the heptathlon, youve got to be 100 percent motivated. You have to want to do the training or youre not going to get anywhere with it.The past couple of years, Ive struggled with injuries and Achilles problems. Id have sessions that would go really well but then Id be injured for a few days later.Do I say, Im in a really nice position here, Ive achieved what I wanted to achieve and more and do I walk away feeling really happy and satisfied? Thats what I wanted to do.While she is walking away from elite-level competition, Ennis-Hills future will remain in sport as she sees herself offering guidance in that field rather than following the well-trodden path into the media.I need to think about what I really want to do, something that I enjoy and that Im passionate about moving forward, she added. I think Ill definitely stay involved in sport in some way.I love getting people into sport, helping people get active and healthy, thats something I enjoy and Im passionate about.TV presenting? Im not sure if thats for me but Im going to take this time to enjoy this moment and reflect, really.Grant Hill Suns Jersey .

The failure to capitalize on three turnovers in Kansas City territory. The decision to pass on third-and-1 late in the game instead of trusting the running game.That last decision might have been the most costly. Despite the earlier problems, the Raiders (10-3) were in position for a potential tying score late when they drove to the Kansas City 14 with just over two minutes to play.Facing a third-and-1, Oakland called for a pass to Andre Holmes in the end zone that Marcus Peters broke up . Del Rio said he considered calling a timeout after hearing the play call to go for a run behind a powerful offensive line that had produced 135 yards on the ground but didnt want to squander a second timeout at a crucial spot.It wouldve made a lot of sense to run right there, Del Rio said. As we look at it as a staff were going, `Geez, what the heck?Del Rio figured that in the worst-case scenario, Oakland could run it on fourth down but right tackle Austin Howard was called for a false start before that play and Derek Carrs fourth-down pass to Seth Roberts fell incomplete. Kansas City ran out the clock to seal the 21-13 victory .You have to go with your gut, Del Rio said. I went with it trying to keep both options alive figuring that worst case wed go on fourth and get it. Then we went a delayed cadence and just really missed an opportunity. There were several throughout the game. You just dont know which one is going to be the one.The Raiders could have taken control of the division by beating the Chiefs to take a two-game lead with three games to play. Instead, Kansas City is tied with Oakland for first place and owns the tiebreaker by virtue of sweeping the season series.If the Raiders want to win the division they can ill afford any more slipups starting with Sundays game at San Diego and will also need the Chiefs to lose at least one game.MMy approach is really simple, Del Rio said.dddddddddddd I tell our guys, `Were not going to lay around and bathe in the adulation of a win. Look how good this is. Were also not going to sit and wallow in misery when we lose. Were going to be matter of fact.There were plenty of other issues earlier in the game. The Raiders had three drives start in Kansas City territory after turnovers and turned them into only six points as Oakland settled for two field goals and then botched a snap on the third.A penalty on Taiwan Jones forced the Raiders to punt a second time and Tyreek Hill took advantage with a 78-yard return for a score. Making matters even worse, punter Marquette King was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after the return, his second straight week with a personal foul.We cant have routine 15-yard penalties out of our punter, Del Rio said. Weve got two in a row, two weeks in a row, and thats got to come to a stop.Then on Oaklands second-to-last drive in the fourth quarter, Carr appeared to have Amari Cooper open deep for what could have been a touchdown. But the ball changed directions at the last moment and Cooper couldnt adjust , leading to an incomplete pass and a punt.There was speculation that the ball might have hit a wire for one of NBCs cameras but the network said that was not the case and the coaches film revealed no reason for the altered flight of the ball.The angel in the outfield, Del Rio said. I mean, it moved. I dont know if it hit a wire or the angel in the outfield moved it, a gust of wind. I dont know. It moved. To me, it was like one of so many plays that could have gone differently. Im certainly not sitting here hung up on that play.Game notesDL Mario Edwards Jr., who has been out since the preseason with a hip injury, looked good in practice last week and could be activated from IR this week. ...
