Lilli SCHWARZKOPF - Germany - 2006 European Championships Heptathlon bronze medal

The main photo above shows Lilli during the High Jump discipline of the Heptathlon at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg. The smaller inset picture shows the closing few metres of the final event of seven, the 1500m, with Schwarzkopf (right of photo) failing by the narrowest of margins to gain the necessary advantage over her rival for the silver medal Karin Ruckstuhl (on the left in orange). Lilli's time of 2: 11.85 earned her 938 points but Ruckstuhl ran a new PB to finish just 8 hundredths behind, meaning that the 936 points she scored left her 3 points ahead of Schwarzkopf in the overall points table.
