With World title in hand, no ‘new mission’ for Simpson as London Games loom     

"I don't know that it will ever truly sink in." That's how Jennifer "Jenny" Simpson describes how it feels, three months afterwards, to be the World champion at 1500m.

"It was a pure sense of joy, because it was a success that came without the burden of expectation. I wasn't the one everyone was depending on to come home with a medal. With some people, there's a sense of relief, but for me it was just an incredible, fun experience."
