Josh Kerr and Molly Caudery claim world indoor gold for Britain
- Kerr wins men’s 3,000m; Caudery the women’s pole vault
- Laura Muir misses out on 3,000m medal before Glasgow crowd
First came the sight of Josh Kerr roaring and punching the Glasgow air, adrenaline whizzing around him like a tornado. Then, 34 minutes later, we watched Molly Caudery crying and shaking her head, still adapting to the thrill of the new. And just like that Britain had two gold medals, two world indoor champions, and a glorious evening in a sport that has suffered its fair share of wobbles.
Naturally Kerr, who was born in Edinburgh, stole the majority of the attention of the home crowd. The world 1500m champion spent all winter mulling over whether to return to Scotland for these world indoor championships. But in the final of the 3,000m he was as decisive as a gambler who sticks it all on red.
