18-year-old makes history becoming the first Irish athlete to win European U20 gold in a field event
“I’m in shock, I’m amazed how well the event went for me,” Ndudi said. “I was confident in myself coming in here but it’s a huge improvement and to do it in such a high competition makes the national record so special.
Then the family moved to Nantes in France in 2016, when Ndudi was aged 11, and in recent years she’s been coached by Julien Guilard at Racing Club Nantes AC. “He’s coached lots of jumpers who have participated in the Olympics, I’ve only heard great things about him, and when I spoke to him, and I said my goal was to make the Olympics, he said that would be his goal too.”
