New Zealand's Kerr wins world men's high jump gold
Hamish Kerr claimed New Zealand's second gold medal in two days at the world championships in Tokyo when he won the men's high jump on Tuesday.
Olympic champion Kerr managed a best of 2.36 metres for gold to follow up on Geordie Beamish's shock victory in the men's 3,000m steeplechase on Monday.
South Korea's Sanghyeok Woo claimed silver with a best of 2.34m.
The Korean upped the ante at the climax of a thrilling competition by skipping 2.36m, the bar raised to 2.38m.
But he was ultimately unsuccessful, leaving Kerr to race around the track and take the applause from a raucous crowd at the National Stadium.
Czech Jan Stefela took bronze with 2.31m on countback from Ukraine's Oleh Doroshchuk.
