Molly Caudery says her World Indoor Championship gold medal will set her up well for this summer’s Olympic Games.

The 23-year-old from Cornwall took pole vault gold in Glasgow, beating reigning Olympic and world champion Katie Moon and two other Olympic medallists.

It was her first major title and capped an impressive upturn in form in the past year that also saw her finish fifth at the World Championships.

“It almost sets me up better,” she told BBC South West about her indoor title.

“Some people maybe wouldn’t like that and all the pressures that come with it, but I do thrive under pressure.

“I’ve always said that I enjoy being an underdog, but coming into this championship I was in the spotlight a little bit more and I still managed to perform.

“So I think it’s not a bad thing for me, and if I can just stay consistent, keep building in my training and take what I’ve done indoors into outdoors then I could be in really good shape for the Olympics.”
