If at first you don’t succeed, try again.��

A common sentiment, but particularly relevant for athletes, and one Hamish Kerr is familiar with.��

The Olympic high jump gold medallist told Mike Hosking that his first attempt at the Fosbury flop left him with a bloody nose, as he hit his nose against his knee on the way over.��

Kerr’s come a long way since that first jump, and now his goal is to leap 2.4 meters – four centimetres higher than his medal winning 2.36 meters. ��

“For me it’s just about getting stronger and faster and that’s something we really worked on this year,” he told Hosking.��

“Probably the most we’ve done of that in my whole career, and that’s, that’s why I’ve done so well.”��

The world record is 2.45 meters, and if he continues the way he does, Kerr thinks the goal is within reach.��

“If I have another four years of that, then there’s no reason why I wouldn’t be getting better.”��
