There will be a stellar field in the pentathlon at the World Indoor championships.
World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis, Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska and Olympic silver medallist Hyleas Fountain will be competing against one another.
Ennis and Dobrynska had already confirmed their participation in Doha next month and were today joined by Fountain.
The American missed the World Championships last year with a neck injury but has bounced back brilliantly this year and narrowly failed to break the US pentathlon record last month.
Russia's Tatyana Chernova, the Olympic bronze medallist who currently heads the world rankings with a score of 4,855 points ahead of Dobrynska (4,788) and Fountain (4,731), will also compete.
Ennis has a best of 4,716 but that was achieved three years ago and her form in the five individual disciplines before being sidelined with a foot injury suggests she has the ability to add another gold medal to her collection.
