To be a top sports star you have to be ruthless, driven
and focused. Nice guys just don't make it to the top, right?
Wrong! And if you want proof, take a look at Carolina Kluft. The Swedish heptathlete has taken the sport by storm - and she's racking up gold medals almost everywhere she competes!
Kluft's mother was a long jumper and her dad a footballer so it's no wonder their daughter is heading for sporting greatness. But the girl herself is taking all in her stride, and believes the key to success is to enjoy yourself, get on well with your fellow competitors and keep on smiling!
