RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jessica Ennis-Hill is nearly certain that this was her last ever heptathlon -- and its tough.Ennis-Hill wiped away tears after losing her Olympic title to Belgiums Nafissatou Thiam on Saturday very slim margin, but she wasnt crying about that.At first she called them happy tears because its another medal, but then acknowledged how hard it was going to be to give up and just how close she was to doing that.I think its a mix of thinking back to the last few years, she said. Im just so emotional and, yeah, Ive just got to make a decision as to whether this is my last heptathlon or not. Im so proud of what Ive achieved the last few years. Ive got to have a think.Judging by the emotion, it looks like it will end in Rio de Janeiro.She looks back on two world titles, and of course the delight of that Olympic gold medal four years ago at her home games in London, when she, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford delivered three golds for the home fans on what became known as Super Saturday.Farah retained his 10,000 meters title on Saturday in Rio, but Ennis-Hill had silver and Rutherford took bronze in the long jump.It would have been incredible (to all win gold again) and that was a really tall ask for all of us, Ennis-Hill said. But ... weve all produced medals again four years down the line.The 30-year-old Ennis-Hill, now a mother to two-year-old Reggie, missed out on retaining her title by around three seconds in the final event. Ennis-Hill needed to beat Thiam by 10 seconds in the 800 meters to clinch the gold.I was like `oh god thats so much, she said. But I just thought, Im going to run hard like I always do.She was only about seven seconds ahead at the end, with the 21-year-old Belgian keeping in touch to protect her lead and throw up a big, surprising result. Thiam delivered five personal bests on the way to the title, only six weeks after injuring her elbow.I knew she was going to run hard for that gold medal and not let slip those two days of amazing performances, Ennis-Hill said.There were no gripes about losing for Ennis, but a couple about the schedule. Late nights, then packing up, eating and preparing for the next day, she said she was working on between 4-5 hours sleep for the final day of the heptathlon.Still, its an Olympic silver medal, she said, and she had to enjoy it. More than anything because it could be the last time.I might not do this again, she said, wrapped in a British flag. It is just a really strange part of my career.

ZURICH -- FIFA ethics prosecutors have asked for a life ban for a former aide to Mohamed bin Hammam in a bribery investigation.The FIFA ethics committee said Wednesday its investigation into Najeeb Chirakal focused mainly on his involvement in payments to several football officials.It recommended that FIFA ethics judges impose the life ban for charges including bribery and corruption, offering gifts, conflicts of interest and failing to cooperate with investigators.Chirakal was based in Qatar and worked for Bin Hammam, a one-time FIFA powerbroker and Asian Football Confederation president who was banned for life by FIFA in 2012.It is unclear when FIFA ethics judges will rule on the case. Verdicts typically take at least several weeks.Chirakal was previously identified -- in emails published by British newspaper The Sunday Times and a report by Pricewaterhouse Coopers into AFC finances -- as a key link for African and Asian officials seeking cash payments from Bin Hammam.In October 2012, Chirakal was provisionally suspended by the FIFA ethics court for failing to cooperate witth its investigation into Bin Hammam.ddddddddddddThen, the aide had been asked to provide information and documents, and failed to respond.The FIFA ethics committee expelled Bin Hammam for a second time in December 2012 over financial mismanagement of the AFC, which was detailed in a leaked forensic audit by accountancy firm PwC.That report linked Chirakal and other presidential staffers to correspondence with an African official, Amadou Diallo, seeking money from Bin Hammam, who was independently wealthy in the construction trade. Diallo was linked in 2011 to unproven claims over alleged payments tied to Qatars successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup.Bin Hammam was first banned by FIFA in 2011 over cash payments to Caribbean voters when he was a FIFA presidential candidate against Sepp Blatter. That life ban was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the Qatari official was blocked from returning to duty by the second ethics case. ' ' '
