Nightmare is nearly over for Caudery

MOLLY AIMS TO LEAVE PARIS MISERY IN PAST

- Alan Smith

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

The world indoor champion is tipped to retain her pole vault title in China tomorrow.

Her Olympics shock, when she failed to register a clean effort in qualifying despite being the favourite, is serving as big motivation.

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.

Understanding what went wrong has been a challenge.
