Hamish Kerr and Geordie Beamish gave sports fans a reason to grin from ear-to-ear this week – two great New Zealanders making their mark on the global stage. In the 3000m steeplechase Geordie shook up the athletics world by mowing down double Olympic winner Soufiane El Bakkali, who was chasing his third consecutive global title. Hamish ladled cherries on his high jump cake, adding the World title to his Olympic title, the Diamond League title, Commonwealth title, and the World Indoor title. With the likes of Walsh, Tanner, Hobbs, Wesche, McTaggart, etc, up with the best in athletics world, a golden age may well be blossoming. John Stewart, former CEO of Athletics NZ told me over 20 years ago that the biggest issue the sport had wasn't lack of talent, it was lack of athletes. He said that they taught the kids how to run, jump and throw, but as they matured, they left for other sports that benefitted enormously from the base that athletics had given them. Olympic and World Championship success is the harbinger of continued participation in track and field. The thought of Kiwi athletes dominating the world stage was a pipe dream, aside the middle-distance glory days and the outrageous success of Val Adams, victory was a rare occurrence. These unicorns hardly stimulated the youth. Now though, the narrative isn't how competing as a junior will set the youth up for careers in other sports, it's about setting up the next generation for triumph at Olympic and World Championship level. Athletes like Kerr and Beamish have proven that we can compete with, and beat, the very best in truly global pursuits. Running, jumping and throwing doesn't cost a heap, and there's not a concussion in sight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's Hamish Kerr had a golden 2024. He was one of a handful of athletes who won the World Indoors in March, and then followed it up with an Olympic title at the Games in Paris.But Hamish almost missed that final. He was facing elimination in the qualifying round at the Stade de France. After two failures at 2.20 metres, he tells us he thought about retiring if he failed again and crashed out of the Olympics. Hamish explains how, after going to that ‘dark place', he knew he had the mental strength to win gold in the final.At the previous Olympics in Tokyo, Mutaz Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi had elected to share the High Jump gold medal and not to enter a jump-off to determine the winner. Hamish describes how early on in his final he began to wonder whether he'd have to make the same decision. As it turned out, he and Shelby McEwen did finish the competition with identical records and couldn't be separated. So why did they choose to jump-off for gold? It's the High Jump's equivalent of a penalty shoot-out in football, and both men had already been out there competing for several hours. Why did Hamish believe he'd cope with that situation better? We find out why food was on his mind as he stood waiting to take the jump that could win him the Olympic title. Hamish also describes the moment during that attempt when he knew he would clear the bar and claim the gold. As for the celebrations afterwards, when he ran into the middle of the infield to bow to the capacity crowd, how much thought had gone into that? After all, the women's Javelin final had been taking place, making that potentially a pretty dangerous place to be!Hamish also talks about his rise through the sport; from winning Commonwealth gold, to the World Indoor title and then the Olympic Games. He takes us inside his mindset, and explains how and why ‘old Hamish' needed to change in order to be challenging for those medals.Photo: Hamish Kerr of Team New Zealand celebrates winning the men's high jump at the Stade de France during the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France.

Hamish Kerr has claimed another title. The Olympic gold medallist has been awarded Sportsman of the Year at the Halberg Awards. The high jumper beat out some tough competition for the title, including two other gold medallists Finn Butcher and Hayden Wilde. Kerr told Mike Hosking that it was cool to see not only New Zealand Olympians at the event, but also crickets, and footballers. “Such an amazing range of sports, all represented.” He believes that sport unites the country, saying that the attitude Kiwis took towards the Olympics was really felt overseas. “I felt proud to be a Kiwi out there, you know, watching all my fellow competitors or compatriots compete – it was so special.” A lot of people are still connected to sport, and athletics in particular, and he thinks the athletics success in Paris has started to bring people back into it. “I've done a couple of comps since, just domestically, and you know, just the reaction from the people coming down wanting to meet not only me, but all the other Olympians has been, has been so, so cool to see.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hamish Kerr is officially the greatest High Jumper in the world having recently won Gold at the Paris Olympics. However, what you're about to hear in this episode is an insight into the mind of the Olympic champion and you'll be amazed at how close he came to bowing out in the Qualifiers which in his mind would have meant retirement. The pressure that come on one single jump is insane and when you need to be relaxed and in flow when jumping how you handle that pressure is the difference.Some other cool parts of this episode that should out for me was..Growing up playing lot's of sports, playing on the wing in rugbyHow at the age of 11 he was arguably faster than Rieko IoaneHis journey into High Jump and why he quit after schoolAn insight in to the training schedule of an individual athleteHow important your mindset in as a world class athleteWhy he wasn't keen to settle on the split gold medalWhat made him take off to the middle of the Javelin field once he had won the goldAnd heaps more!As you'll hear Hamish is a very smart, open and honest man who gives so much gold (excuse the pun) in this episode. What he has done for High Jump and Athletics in this country has been massively and he is such a champion! If you enjoyed this episode please give it share and I will continue to bring you more great guests like Hamish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best Olympics ever. Sadly it wasn't in our timezone, which doesn't help the communal buzz of a nation gathered together. But we won more golds and, in my book, that is really what the Olympics is about. They have tried to make it about new, weird sports and participation, but for the purest it is about being the best. That's why you sacrifice and give up your life for singular moments that make it all worthwhile. I have decided that gold is disproportionate to silver and bronze. It's not a step up - it's several steps. I have also decided, as shown through the tears of Lydia Ko, that although there are sports you could argue don't really belong at the Olympics, even for the most elite of athletes used to winning regularly elsewhere on a global stage, representing your country clearly still counts for a lot. Then you get to the weird business of human nature. As remarkable as Lisa Carrington is, the trouble with being a recidivist winner is you are expected to simply carry on. That's why being number one at anything is relentless and largely thankless, because it's expected. Which is why the Hamish Kerr gold is the one you remember, because it wasn't expected. Was he a prospect? Yes. Was he going to win it all? I didn't hear anyone say that. But what about gold in the canoe slalom? It's an odd, invented sport with no small measure of luck. So does an invented sport gold beat a classic high jump gold? Not in my book. But here is the real gold on the gold - we don't historically win a lot of them. It was seven last time and that was an outlier. We won eight in Los Angeles a long time ago. But apart from those two, most games produce one or two or three at most. Ten golds is a couple of weeks to remember and reminds us that for a country of five million, there are an outsized group of people who strive, work and are determined to live a dream and be the very best of the best. And for all their stories, we can be grateful for the joy they bring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
