FROM heartbreak in Paris to fire in Nanjing, Molly Caudery insists she is ready to prove her Olympic nightmare will not be career defining.

Caudery said the days after Paris were “like a grieving period” but she went home to Cornwall, spent time healing in the sea and worked closely with a psychologist.
