Eliza McCartney admits she's nowhere near fit enough to compete at this weekend's Continental Cup athletics meet in Ostrava
Eliza McCartney admits she's nowhere near fit enough to compete at this weekend's Continental Cup athletics meet in Ostrava
8 September 2018
The Olympic pole vault bronze medallist eventually withdrew from the event
due to ongoing struggles with a heel injury, suffered during last month's
Diamond League event in Birmingham.
McCartney says she doesn't want to try and compete and risk injuring herself
elsewhere.
She says it was an easy decision that her heel's not in a place where she can
compete and it's not a big enough competition to be worth it.
Kiwi shotputter Tom Walsh, sprinter Joseph Millar and middle-distance runner
Angie Petty are the kiwi representatives at the Continental Cup.
