Sally Scott reveals that she thought her pole vaulting career may have been over due to her struggles with a shoulder injury.

Sally Scott has claimed that she thought her pole vaulting career may have been over due to a shoulder problem.

The 23-year-old will compete in the qualifying round on Thursday at Hampden Park after managing to secure a spot on the England team, but admits that she thought her chances of challenging at major competition were over.

"I thought at one point I wasn't going to be able to pole vault again," Scott told BBC Newcastle. "I've had a shoulder problem, an impingement in my right shoulder which takes all the force of the pole.

"I was one of those on the edge of being selected. I knew I had a good chance as I was ranked highly enough in the English Athletics policy.

"My coach told me I was provisionally selected, and I was like, 'what does that mean? Does that mean I'm selected?' and he said 'yes', but I couldn't say anything. At that point I was so emotional, because I wanted it so much."

The pole vault final will take place on Saturday evening.
