Athletics: Jessica Ennis set to open 2013 season in Edinburgh

Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill will miss the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow because she is pregnant.

The 27 year old Briton is expecting her first baby with husband Andy, but still plans to defend her Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games.

“I am sorry I won’t be in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games,” she said. ”But I know it will be an amazing occasion. I will be at home awaiting the arrival of a little Ennis-Hill.”
