    Perseverance has paid immediate dividends for high jumper Hamish Kerr

    Perseverance has paid immediate dividends for high jumper Hamish Kerr


    He's bounced back from the depths of disappointment in missing the final at the world championships in Budapest with a best outdoor clearance of 2.33 metres at the Diamond League in Zurich.

    He placed second behind Qatari Mutaz Essa Barshim.

    Kerr says a Croatian sojourn provided the perfect tonic.
