By Alex Horlock PUBLISHED: 07:14 EST, 6 August 2012 | UPDATED: 08:38 EST, 6 August 2012 It appears the Ennis effect may be rubbing off on the golden girl's compatriots. Lawrence Okoye, Great Britain's discus hopeful, has qualified in fourth in the men's discus after recording a whopping 65.28m throw - just moments after Ennis posted a picture on Twitter of the pair together. Okoye and Ennis stand arm in arm next to fellow Team GB athlete Carl Myerscough. The two giant field competitors dwarf the petite heptathlete as they posed before Danny Boyle's opening ceremony.

Both are well over the six foot mark, with @placeholder standing at 6ft 7in and weighing in at 24st - no wonder the heptathlete looks so small.
