BRITISH pole vaulter Molly Caudery is Team GB’s glam gold medal hopeful and model.

She came fifth in the World Championships in Budapest last August before winning the World Indoor title in March.

Molly, 24, holds the British record for the women’s pole vault, with a best of 4.92m.

And after adding a silver at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and a bronze from the 2024 European Athletics Championships to her collection – she is a medal contender at the Olympics.

The Cornwall-born beauty puts several hours into training everyday but still finds time for her other passion – modelling.

The pole vaulter is signed to W model management and sportswear giants Adidas recently signed Molly up as one of their athletes.

She also has a degree in sports science from Loughborough University, a place she has been using as a base as she gets ready for Paris 2024.

Molly admits her chance at gold at the Olympics comes as a shock, saying: “Prior to this year, my sights were always set on LA 2028. But things have really snowballed, I’ve built so much confidence.”

And the blonde bombshell shows just that to her 280,000 followers on her Instagram page.

She has built up an army of fans by posting clips of her gruelling training regime.

There is also plenty of modelling and holidays snaps shared away from the athletics.

Additionally, she loves to travel the world from Indonesia to Monaco to Italy, living the life of luxury.

Away from the track and field, she is dating high jump and Team GB star Joel Clarke-Khan.

And just like stunning Molly, he is a model signed up to FORTE Management.

Winning gold is her aim and would complete an incredible road to recovery as less than three years ago she virtually lost her finger in a freak accident at home.

Molly, who sports a scar on her index finger, said: “I was doing snatching and, as I brought the bar down, my finger caught between where you rack it and the bar.

“It was 90 per cent off. It was holding on by the skin on the side.

“Three surgeries later, it is all good. But since then, I had two Achilles surgeries, which put me out for almost nine months.

“That was a pretty big setback that I managed to come back from.”
