MONACO
Diamond League, 38th Herculis EBS, Stade Louis II Monaco, 12 July: Hamish Kerr HJ 2.33m (1), =outdoor PB (2.16o, 2.21o, 2.25o.2.28xxo, 2.31o, 2.33xxo, 2.38xr).
Kerr said it was a long competition.
“But I knew that I had some good jumps in my legs. I also knew that I wanted to focus on saving my energy for higher jumps. For the 2.28m, it was just more of a wake-up call. I felt the hype and I made the crowd cheer. That third attempt really woke me up and I got my first attempt valid at 2.31m. I am really proud of my last three heights especially. They really show that I have some nice heights in my legs and that I can survive under pressure. I have been training very hard at home, the jumping is not quite there yet but I know that for now on I will jump higher. Every athlete has different challenges in the sport. It is hard spending a lot of time away from the family. I can’t just go home and that part is really hard,” he said.
