	Guardian Unlimited Sport \| Olympics 2004 \| Olympics: Princess Kelly dethrones Denise
		When Kelly Sotherton recovers from her extraordinary efforts over two days and pieces together how she won a bronze in the heptathlon, she will look upon yesterday morning's long jump as the significant moment.
		The comfort zone Sotherton established with her brave jump evaporated immediately when she placed rather than threw the javelin 35.42m, 37.14m and 37.19m, to finish last of the 28 remaining contenders in that discipline.
		At the medal ceremony, during which Sotherton smiled cheekily and seemed to find her crown of thorns itchy, they played 'Voulez Vous.' By the time Kluft has finished her career, it is likely she will have been forced to listen to the whole of Abba's Greatest Hits.

		Kelly had just produced a superb performance in that 800m, clocking a new PB time of 2: 07.96, but it was not enough to lift her into the medal positions and she finished 50 points behind the bronze medallist Margaret Simpson.
		Sotherton had looked in good shape after five events and was sitting in the bronze medal position before a hugely disappointing performance in the Javelin gave her a mountain to climb.
		That brave effort in the 800m saw her go close, but not close enough, and she was unable to add a second bronze to the one she had captured at the previous years Olympic Games.
