Sporting successes
As early as 1992 she took part in the Junior World Championships. She reached the semi-finals, but was eliminated with 13.81 seconds (best time of the year).
The Jamaican experienced her big international breakthrough in 1999. She increased her personal best by more than 0.5 seconds. With 12.71 seconds it clearly undercut the important 13-second mark. She became internationally known through her appearance at the World Championships in Seville . There she reached the final and finished seventh with a time of 12.87 seconds. A year later, she narrowly missed medal ranks at the Olympic Games in Sydney . 12.80 seconds meant fourth place.
International championship medals followed after a few unsuccessful years at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships. At the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, she won silver. With 12.76 seconds she reached the finish exactly one tenth of a second after the winner Michelle Perry (USA). At the 2007 World Cup in Osaka, she set a new personal best of 12.50 seconds in the finals with minimal wind (−0.1 m / s), which was only enough to achieve bronze behind Michelle Perry and Perdita Felicien (CAN). At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin , she achieved the bronze medal again behind Brigitte Foster-Hylton (JAM) and Priscilla Lopes-Schliep (CAN) with 12.55 seconds.
With her best time of 12.50 seconds, Delloreen Ennis-London is among the 30 fastest hurdles of all time.
