Hamish Kerr originally appeared on the podcast at the end of 2022, not long after he won a Commonwealth Games Gold medal. Heres the original ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEf-zSZRbcY So much has happened since then! At the 2025 Halberg awards Hamish Kerr won the “Sportsman of the year” trophy, the first time a high jumper has ever won that title. This came off the back of his success at the Paris Olympic games where he won a gold medal in the high jump with a height of 2 meters 34 cm. He is the undisputed G.O.A.T when it comes to high jump in NZ. When Hamish joined me on the podcast, he had just returned from the Birmingham Commonwealth Games where he won gold. In this FastCast we talk about the intricacies of the high jump, what his training looks like, his relationship with his mental health and where his gold medal lives. Hosted on Acast.
