NZ Sporting History: Hamish Kerr

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 27 February 2025

In this segment we often go way back in time, but today we are doing something rare and focusing on the now.

It takes a special kind of athlete to get this treatment, but current Olympic high jump champion Hamish Kerr fits the bill

You might remember he won that gold medal after a jump off with American Shelby McEwen.
