A new poll ranks a retired British middle-distance runner as the top woman that girls look up to. The outlet reporting on the results says the runner finishes first, edging out another well-known British Olympian.
According to the same report, the runner’s top position comes ahead of heptathlon specialist Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, who is described as the second-place figure in the poll. The coverage emphasizes the outcome of the voting and the relative ranking between the two sportswomen, rather than providing further details about the poll’s broader methodology or other participants.
While both versions of the article focus on the same ranking, the additional phrasing differs slightly across the duplicate listings. Overall, the sources agree on the central result: the retired middle-distance runner is placed above Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill in a poll of role models for girls.
