Jessica Ennis-Hill would like to bow out from athletics on the stage of her greatest triumph.
Ennis-Hill will defend her Olympic heptathlon title in Rio this summer after her glory on home soil in 2012.
But the lure of retiring in front of her British fans next year, when London's Olympic Stadium stages the IAAF World Championships, is something that could drive her on to stay in the sport.
Ennis-Hill, 30, said: 'It’s going to be a decision to make, whether I retire after Rio or whether I decide to do one more year and go to the World Championships and retire after that. But I definitely won't be going on any longer than 2017.
'It would be quite a buzz to compete there (in London).'
The 2010 European heptathlon champion was speaking to laureus.com where she has been nominated for the 2016 Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award.
It was some year for her in 2015 as she regained the world title in Beijing having returned to the sport after 13 months out following the birth of son Reggie.
Ennis-Hill added: 'People will obviously expect me to just keep performing at a high level and winning gold medals. Unfortunately it's not that easy. And this year is going to be more challenging. Everyone has stepped up their game.
'It's going to be tough and I think I'm definitely not the favourite.'
Canada’s Brianne Theisen-Eaton, the recently crowned world indoor pentathlon champion, will be one of her big threats as will fellow Britain, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the European indoor pentathlon gold medallist.
Ennis-Hill was the poster girl of London 2012 and she delivered in style from the very first event, the 100m hurdles, where broke the British record (12.54). She went on to win gold with a British record 6955 points.
The venue means so much to her and she said: 'I have so many memories from 2012. And for me, it's always that feeling that I had when I stepped out into the stadium for the first time to line up for the hurdles. Seeing that incredible crowd and seeing the stadium at that time in the morning. It was incredible. I'll never, ever forget those two days.'
The Laureus awards take place on 18 April in Berlin and along with Ennis-Hill in the comeback category are Kenya’s 800m world champion David Rudisha, New Zealand rugby star Dan Carter, American swimmer Michael Phelps, Australian surfer Mick Fanning and USA skier Lindsey Vonn.
