It was a moment Molly Caudery had dreamed of – but not one Great Britain’s rising pole vault star could entirely believe.<\/b><\/p>\n

Covering her mouth in shock, the 23-year-old was embraced by Olympic champion Katie Moon following confirmation of her breakthrough success at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

With a gold medal at only her second global championship, Caudery can no longer continue her remarkable progress under the radar, as she would prefer.<\/p>\n

Instead, she announced herself as a podium contender for this year’s Paris Olympics on a sensational night for the hosts inside an electric arena.<\/p>\n

Just 34 minutes after Scot Josh Kerr had left the Glasgow crowd in raptures, external<\/span><\/a> by winning the 3,000m title, New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney could not deny Caudery in a dramatic conclusion to a women’s pole vault final lasting more than two hours.<\/p>\n

Celebrating with a golden tiara on her head and with a beaming smile on her face, the Briton once again displayed her capacity to thrive on the sport’s biggest stages.<\/p>\n

“I dreamed of it but I wasn’t sure if it would come true,” Caudery, who set a personal best to finish fifth at last summer’s World Championships in Budapest, told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

“It was such a tough competition so I knew it was going to be a fight. To have executed the way I did, I’m just proud of myself for that. <\/p>\n

“As soon as I got a medal, that was kind of all I came to do. It made me believe in myself.<\/p>\n

“Those last two jumps that Eliza [McCartney] attempted, I was so on edge. We get on really well but obviously I can’t help but be a little bit happy!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
