Molly Caudery aims to defend world indoor title in Nanjing

Molly Caudery, the British pole vaulter, is determined to overcome her disappointing performance at the Paris Olympics, where she failed to qualify for the final after missing all her attempts at the opening height of 4.55m. Seven months post-Olympics, Caudery is focusing on her upcoming defense of her world indoor title in Nanjing, China. She describes her Olympic experience as a 'bad day to have a bad day' but emphasizes that it has fueled her motivation to succeed. Caudery had a breakout season in 2024, winning gold at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow and breaking the British record with a vault of 4.92m. She believes that despite the setback, she is in a much better place now and is ready to showcase her abilities on the global stage once again. With her sights set on future titles, Caudery aims to channel her past experiences into achieving success in upcoming competitions.
