She's 102 points behind her Paris first day. Lesser marks in 100H, HJ (way down) and 200, 1cm better in SP.

Thanks. She competed this week (on Tues at the Råslättspelen in Jönköping) as a tune-up/trial, recording 13,52 in the 100mh and 43,39m in the javelin.

GH: She put the shot 1cm better than her PR in Paris, and 1,5m (!) better than her attempt at Götzis last year. Her 100mh time was 0,06 seconds slower than her record run in Paris, and 0,40 seconds faster than her race in Götzis last year.

Threatening possibilities later this summer? !

Her meteoric rise and constant PRing had to level off sometime. She'll still improve, but JJK territory is still at nose-bleed altitude.

Day 2: Javelin threw her off -- unexpected 45m toss. She was 4cm better than Paris in the long jump - and her 2nd-best ever in hep competition. I don:t expect a 2.12 from Klüft in the 800m - the only event remaining. However, Klüft is showing consistency when compared to both Götzis last year and the WC in Paris, and this seems to be lining up as her 2nd-best ever hep competition.

Klüft did finish three heps in 2.12,12, 2.13,03 och 2.13,85 last year. We will see -- any second now.

2.12,21 for 6,820!!!! Great job.
