It's Only Sport podcast | The Platform - A podcast by The Platform

New Zealand pole vaulter Eliza McCartney joins Martin Devlin on It's Only Sport, following her brilliant competitive showing in France last weekend. The 2016 Olympic bronze medallist achieved a jump of 4.84 metres, a world-leading mark and the sixth-best mark of her vaulting career. It suggests McCartney could be back in the circle of contenders for the World Athletics Indoor Championships in a few weeks and the Paris Olympic Games in July/August. She talks to Devlin about the strength of the field she competed against in Lievin, whether or not she's ticking all the boxes she wants to in an Olympic year, how far off she is of matching her personal best vault of 4.94 metres, and more.
