Carolina Kluft, from 2002 to 2007, owned the heptathlon in European, World and Olympic competitions. Indoors, Kluft competed in the pentathlon and long jump. Kluft’s victory in Osaka, Japan, where she scored 7,032 points in the scorching heat, gave her the second best score EVER behind only JJK, yes, Jackie Joyner Kersee. 


Kluft has dealt with her share of injuries. On Sunday, Carolina ran the third leg of the Swedish 4 x 400m relay, which won and ran 3:26.20. The meet was the Finland vs Sweden meet, a 100 plus year old track meet that is taken quite seriously by athletes from Finland and Sweden. 


I remember an interview given at the Reebok centre by Carolina Kluft in Osaka, Japan, after her win there. ” I always want kids to think that sport is fun. For me, sports has always been fun.”
