I’m of the opinion that she’s been back for a while, it’s just taken some time to get the pace of the first 200 right. She’s been going out too hard.
And no, I don’t trust anyone competing for Bahrain.

Molly Caudery passes 4.20, 4.40, and no heights at 4.55. Only vaulter to no-height.
Eleven vaulters have hit 4.55; 15 are currently tied at 4.40. Top-12 plus ties go to the final. I would hate to have to break those ties on misses.

No one's forcing her to continue. Time to get a real job.
I don’t have sympathy, to be clear.
Come on, is that necessary? She had physical issues plus was being body shamed and if she didn't love to vault she wouldn't have given it another shot. I watched her putting her poles away after she went out and after she slid the last pole into the case she put her hands on her knees and began sobbing until Caudery came over to her.
No one says you have to be fan, but I don't understand the lack of compassion.

Nine at 4.40 will make the final - total of 20 vaulters in the final. I think I heard the event head mention to the athletes that the event time might be adjusted so be flexible. Twenty vaulters will be a long competition.

What a crock of sheet. Should have gone with less 4.40 shouldn’t get you in the final

The WA site seems slow to update results, is there a more prompt site?

Olympics website has live results. Not sure if it's any quicker.

Her problems strangely increased at the same time as Molly Caudery came on the scene as British number one. She admits to self-harm for performance purposes. I can’t support that.
“Winning that bronze medal has damaged me physically and mentally,” she told the latest issue of the magazine, out on Thursday. “I just worry, have I damaged myself too much that I can’t get back from that? And then I almost question, is it really worth it, if I’ve damaged myself for the rest of my life?
“I’m a good athlete but the way in which I won my medal was by being so meticulous, so organised, so on it in every single element of my life for 10 years. That involved collecting sleep data, analysing my heart rate variability, weighing my food, weighing myself every morning. ‘OK, I’m too heavy. I need to starve myself for three months.’ I’d wake up in the middle of the night and I’d have to neck a glass of water because I was so hungry but I was trying to drop weight.
“It’s not to say I’ve not had any joy, but I’ve done so many things that have constrained me and for so many years. I would describe it as living unhealthy behaviours for so long.”Bradshaw admitted that she had been particularly unhappy in the past six months. “I’m Holly Bradshaw, I’m a pole vaulter, I get up, I go and train, I go and pole vault,” she said. “I’m not doing it because I love it. I’m just doing it because it’s what I do, and that’s not a good reason.”20 -

Actually it's a lot quicker, thanks.

Paulino, don't think you needed to go that quick in the heats but I really hope you win the final

At least I didn’t vault over her.
