2006 European Athletics Championships – Women's heptathlon


The women's heptathlon at the 2006 European Athletics Championships were held at the Ullevi on August 7 and August 8.
Biggest drama occurred on the first day as Eunice Barber, who was leading after high jump, had to stop because of injury. After that no one could challenge Klüft, who took first gold medal for hosts. Battle for silver was exciting to the end. Schwarzkopf was better than Ruckstuhl in 800 metres, but not enough.
