Grant Holloway takes jibe at American media's alleged lack of support to track and field after British newspaper features Molly Caudery

Grant Holloway recently took a dig at the American media after a British local newspaper showcased a feature coverage for Molly Caudery.

On March 2, 2024, Caudery secured a gold medal in the women's pole vault event at the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. She recorded a remarkable jump of 4.80m to secure this feat.

The 23-year-old became Great Britain's first world champion in the event and only the second British athlete to win a medal in pole vault at the World Indoor Championships after Holly Bradshaw. As a result of her historic feat, she earned featured coverage in a local British Newspaper, West Briton Sport, covering news from Cornwall.

West Briton is a local weekly newspaper, published every Thursday. Born in Truro, Cornwall, Caudery was highlighted in headlines, front as well as on the back page of the newspaper. Local outlet TruroVoice also covered the news.

The Olympic medalist, Holloway took to X (Formerly known as Twitter) to share the pictures from the newspaper and passed a jab toward American media's alleged incapability of providing a spotlight to track and field events.

"USA could never lol," wrote Holloway.

In February this year, Holloway shattered the world record in the men's 60m hurdles event at the 2024 USATF Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He registered an impressive time of 7.27 seconds to improve his previous record by 0.02 seconds.

Following his record-breaking race, the 26-year-old Virginia native expressed his frustration at being unable to find the footage of his record-break run.
