Molly Caudery: World Indoor Tour Gold pole vault title for Briton in Madrid
Britain’s Molly Caudery won the entire World Indoor Tour title at the final meeting of the Madrid Series.
She earned the highest points and beat Slovenia’s Tina Sutej to a season-best 48,500 when she reigned at the 24-year-old World Indoor Arctic Championship Championship (Caudery).
Sutej was the only athlete who could clear 4.7 million, but she didn’t respond to Caudery’s first vault for more than 4.75 million.

The show comes a week after Williams lowered his best man to 7.19 seconds to win the British indoor championship first.
