Carolina Kluft Quotations

It's not serious. Her ankle will be strapped up and we will have to see how it reacts,

I love competing, and of course I am very disappointed, but the (European championships) is the highlight of the year, maybe even my career, and that is when I want to be at my best.

This was the most difficult competition of my career due to the injury. I knew I had to reach the finish line before Eunice to get the gold, and that's what I did.

Everything I do is geared towards improving my next performance.

I'm not disappointed (at not leading), I'm just trying my best.

Success for me is not to have all the medals. Success for me is to always do your best and try to develop and get better at every event

If I do my best -- and I always do my best -- I'm satisfied,

I was not confident about my foot and I was not able to push hard on it. If you are not confident it is impossible to be at your best.

I am disappointed because I love competing, but the Europeans are the highlight of the year.

I am capable of of beating my personal best (7001 pts set at the 2003 world championships in Paris) but the world record seems too high.
