Barber, who had 6,755 points. Klüft thus became the third woman ever to break the 7,000 point barrier in the heptathlon. She set six personal bests in the seven disciplines including a 1.94m high jump and an exceptional 200m of 22.98s. At one stage she was on the brink of elimination from the competition after overstepping on the first two of her three long jump attempts but ended up recording the best jump of the competition with 6.68m. She was later awarded Waterford Crystal European Athlete of the Year Trophy 2003. That same year, Klüft also received the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal. She went on to win the heptathlon gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens with a score of 6,952 points. She took the lead after the high jump and extended her lead after every event from then on. With Eunice Barber absent through injury, Klüft won by an Olympic record margin of 517 points, ahead of Austra Skujyte. She also entered the long jump,

kasutasid normannid juhust. 845. aasta ülestõusmispühal ründasid 160 km mööda Seine`i jõge ülespoole tunginud viikingid Pariisi. (Allan 2004:14). 7 Kui taanlased vallutasid kuningriike, siis Norra viikingid tegelesid maakera vähetuntud piirkondade hõivamisega. Nende retkede sihtkohaks olid enamjaolt Sotimaa ja Iirimaa, kus nad rajasid rannikuasundusi, millest said selle saare esimesed linnad- nii Dublin, Waterford, Limerick kui ka Wexford on norralaste asutatud. Ühtlasi seadsid nad ennast sisse rannikulähedastel saartel, mille hulka kuulusid näiteks Man ning Orkney ja Shetlandi saared. Need varustasid ka esimeste alaliste elanikega Norrast peaaegu 700 km lääne pool paiknevaid Fääri saari, mis olid selle ajani täitnud üksnes Iiri munkade suvise pelgupaiga ülesannet. Sealjuures asutasid nad oma koloonia Gröönimaa läänerannikul ja jõudsid
Lääneteel liikusid peamiselt hilisemate taanlaste ja norralaste esivanemad, Idateel hilisemad rootslased. Just Lääneteel seiklevad viikingid jõudsid oma laevastikuga Inglismaa rannikule ja hiljem vallutasid osa Inglismaast. Sellepärast on Inglismaal ka tänapäeval veel üht-teist viikingitest pärinevat. Seal on säilinud viikingite päritolu kohanimed. Oma võimu kindlustamiseks lõid viikingid praeguse Iirimaa pealinna Dublini. Nende rajatud on ka Wexford, Waterford ja Limerick. Ühtlasi seadsid nad ennast sisse rannikulähedaste saartel, mille hulka kuulusid näiteks Man ning Orkney ja Shetlandi saared. Nemad varustasid esimeste elanikega ka Norrast peaaegu 700 km lääne poole jäävad Fääri saared, mis olid senimaani täitnud üksnes iiri munkade suvise pelgupaiga ülesannet. Kauges Konstantinoopolis teenisid viikingid Bütsantsi keisri ihukaitsjana.
