In a brilliantly honest and fun chat, New Zealand's Olympic high jump champion Hamish Kerr talks to the team about how he recovered from 'staring into the abyss' during qualification at Paris 2024 to win gold in a jump off.

Hamish talks passionately about his goals for the future (2.40m anyone?!) and how he's coped with becoming a huge star in his country.

Presented by athletics commentators Hannah England, Rich Newman and Katie Smith.

A ‘quiet episode’ was prepared but Hannah, Rich and Katie typically found themselves with plenty of things to say ahead of a stacked schedule in Silesia, as the Diamond League season enters the business end.

The team preview Paris Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson’s comeback from a year out of competition, Faith Kipyegon’s next world record attempt and Kishane Thompson’s attempt to drown out the noise of Noah Lyles v Kenny Bednarek.

There’s also appreciation for Alex Yee’s impressive 5000m - two weeks after the the Olympic gold medallist returned to triathlon - and a recap of the European Under-20 Championships.
