Medal hope Caudery bows out in pole vault qualification
Britain's Molly Caudery competes in the Women's Pole Vault Qualification at the Stade de France on the tenth day of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in France, August 5, 2024

BRITISH  medal favourite Molly Caudery vowed to learn from her Olympic debut after crashing out of the qualification session with a no mark.

The reigning world indoor champion was the only entrant who elected to skip the 4.40 metres height attempt, electing to enter at 4.55.

It was a decision that proved costly when she failed to clear the bar with her three tries, particularly after it turned out 4.40 was all it took for nine other women to advance.
