In a moment straight out of Hollywood, with French fans screaming, no one know who won the heptathlon! Running a brilliant 2:18.99 for the final event, the 800 meters, Antoinette nana Djimou Ida of France won the heptathlon by a scant 17 points! Her score was 4723!
In second, Austra Skujyte of Lithuania, scored 4706, her 2:26.54 not enough to hold off Djimou! And in third, Remona Fransen of the Netherlands, who had two personal bests in the first three events, ran 2;16.24, to nail down the bronze, with her 4,665, just 58 points behind the silver.
Paris will be celebrating tonight, as they already have two medals, just one behind Germany in the 2011 European Indoor Athletic Championships.
