For Molly Caudery, the Paris Olympics were an unmitigated disaster, so much so that she “grieved” for her Games for weeks afterwards. Caudery arrived with a spring in her step as the new world indoor champion and a serious medal contender, and so she finds what happened next hard to explain. All she knows is that she failed to clear the bar, and her Olympics were over before they ever got airborne.
“I may ‘no-height’ once a year or once every two years, and mine just happened to be on the biggest competition of my life,” she smiles. “It’s not ideal, but what can I do now? All I can do is learn from it and not let it happen again.”
