POLE vaulter Holly Bradshaw is into Thursday’s final at the European Championships after sailing through qualification, hitting a mark of 4.50m with her first jump to progress.

“I feel really confident,” said Blackburn Harrier Bradshaw. “I was confident going into it and I didn’t know whether 4.50m or 4.55m would be enough but it felt good after my warm up.

“I opened at 4.50m and it was good enough, my jump was really sweet and I just couldn’t put a step wrong, so I’m very excited for the final now.”
