Olympic champion, World champion and in 2018, European champion. The hat trick one might call it.
Naturally the European title is not a "Major," as they say in golf, but one worth winning because most
of the best multi-event women have been and are Europeans. Jacki Joyner-Kersee is one of the only two
non European in the top 20 all -time. OK. She is the WORLD RECORD HOLDER since 1988 !
