 Sotherton upset the odds in Athens |
Olympic bronze-winner Kelly Sotherton closed her heptathlon season with a win in Sunday's Decastar meeting in France. Sotherton, the overnight leader after the first day's action in Talence, maintained her motivation after a long season to dominate the competition.
The Birchfield Harrier totalled 6,242 points, well ahead of Ukrainian runner-up Natalya Dobrynska (6,010).
Sotherton was a surprise third at the Olympic Games last month after winning four of the seven events.
Former world champion Yelena Prokhorova of Russia was third in France with 5,887 points.
