#hamish kerr

[transparentgentlemenmarker]

Le scénario des JO de Tokyo a bien failli se répéter, mais Hamish Kerr est finalement le seul et unique champion olympique du saut en hauteur. Le Néo-Zélandais a remporté le concours samedi 10 août 2024 soir au Stade de France au terme d'un barrage interminable contre l'Américain Shelby McEwen. À égalité après avoir tous les deux échoué à 2,38 m, les deux hommes ont disputé trois tours de barrage, terminés après que le Néo-Zélandais a réussi à franchir 2,34 m seul.

Update: Aotearoa won!

Gianmarco Tamberi (Italy) and Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar) - olympic gold medalist High Jump men, Tokyo

Both didn’t made it past 2,37m and decided instead of jumping until one of them looses to split gold and be the best of the best but both

Right now in Paris: same situation US vs. New Zealand and the US man didn’t even consider but straight out said „we jump“. I get the high competitiveness but babe you gonna eat those words. My money is on the easygoing always smiling New Zealand guy.

And just imagine you could have earned a new friend today instead of not winning the gold you want so bad

Hamish Kerr and Shelby McEwen you will never be BarshimTamberi

Hamish Kerr low-key giving serial killer vibe

USA’s McEwen chose not to share Gold with NZ’s Hamish Kerr. It went to a jump-off and the kiwi took it. Karma.👏

McEwen didn't agree to Share, wanted a jump-off for the gold.

Ultimately, Kerr cleared 2.34m to win gold, while McEwen finished with silver.

SMH.....

So the brother refused showing how fvcked up his African values are as a result of living in LieMerika. He would have gotten more in the end only if he believed as an African in Ubuntu. Our ppl are so removed from who they are that they are becoming like Wyt people

Seeing people liking the haka is cool. Seeing the nasty shit racists are saying is not! Guess that's the nature of twitter/reddit (obviously).

I didn't get to learn it in school because I moved before I could but did grow up seeing it before rugby games. Also at school-related things in Aus (like my high school leaving day ig).

Would be kinda funny if they did it before the cricket (one of the most boring sports ever)!

And I wanna talk about how NZ does in sports. Goated at rugby, W All Blacks. In the Olympics, they're good at rowing/kayaking, sailing, rugby sevens, and cycling. Also, shoutouts to Hamish Kerr who got gold for high jump AND Lydia Ko who got gold for golf.

I watched Lydia Ko's last hour and a half with my dad in the middle of the night and it was surprisingly gripping and tense. And since then, I've gotten a tumblr ad about her so that's cool! She got into some golf hall of fame thing after her gold medal win, too.

Love the Olympics as a competition. Obviously don't like them allowing Israel to participate or a literal child rapist (but I digress).

Watching the 2018 figure skating led to me wanting to watch I, Tonya which then become my favourite movie. Also remember the 2008 Beijing Olympics mascots, probably from McDonalds happy meal toys back then.

U.S. men win 4x400 relay thriller in Olympic-record time

Aug 9, 2024; Saint-Denis, FRANCE; Rai Benjamin (USA) celebrates winning the men's 400m hurdles final during the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games at Stade de France. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports PARIS -- The United States continued its dominance of the Olympic 4x400 meters relay on Saturday as Rai Benjamin held off Botswana's Letsile Tebogo in a thrilling last-leg battle between two individual gold medalists. The U.S. as expected, dropped Quincy Wilson, the 16-year-old who struggled badly in the heats, but did not bring in individual 400-meter champion Quincy Hall, instead adding 400m hurdles champion Benjamin to run the final leg. Chris Bailey took them out but handed over the baton in third to Vernon Norwood, who ran a stormer in the heats and repeated it in the final to send Bryce Deadmon off in the lead. Botswana's Anthony Pesela, however, closed the gap to set up a dramatic finale. Tebogo the 200m champion who was drafted in at the last minute to run the first leg for Botswana in the heats on Friday, sat on Benjamin's shoulder and looked poised to pass him entering the final straight. Benjamin's one-lap speed endurance showed, however, as he held him off to win in an Olympic record two minutes, 54:43 seconds. It was a remarkable 19th gold in the event for the U.S. Botswana, bronze medalists in Tokyo, took silver in an African record 2:54.53 with Britain taking bronze in a European record 2:55.83. The race was of such high quality that fourth-place Belgium and fifth-placed South Africa set national records, and Japan in sixth set an Asian record. HIGH JUMP New Zealand's Hamish Kerr won gold in the men's high jump with a best effort of 2.36 meters (7.74 feet) after a long and grueling final, securing his country's first medal in the event. Defending champion Mutaz Barshim of Qatar got the bronze with a season's best 2.34 (7.68 feet), leading to a war of attrition between Kerr and American Shelby McEwen as they sparred for the gold. Both started to tire and failed to make it over 2.38m (7.81 feet) in three attempts. The bar was lowered back to 2.36, then to 2.34, which Kerr was the first to clear and clinch victory. After sailing over the bar, the Kiwi ran into the middle of the field and flopped onto the grass in joy and relief. It was an impressive result for McEwen, too, a personal best and a huge improvement after finishing 12th in Tokyo. Barshim was likely feeling a sense of deja vu as he watched the duel. It was after such a stalemate in the Tokyo final that he and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi decided to share the gold medal. The Qatari did a celebratory backflip off the mat after his last jump, with the bronze his fourth medal in as many Olympic appearances. Tamberi, who was suffering from kidney colic, fell out of contention early on, distraught after failing to clear 2.27m. 5,000 METERS Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen bounced back from defeat in the 1,500 meters to win the Olympic 5,000 meters gold with a fierce final lap, just as he did in the last two world championships. Ingebrigtsen was the defending Olympic champion over 1,500 but was run out of the medals and was determined to make amends in the longer distance, having taken gold in the 5,000 in the past two world championships after also losing in his favorite event. His rivals played into his hands on Saturday by running most of the race at pedestrian pace, keeping the huge field of 22 together until the last few laps. Ingebrigtsen was initially caught in the pack, but did not panic, easing his way through and forging ahead with 250 meters to go to come home well clear in 13 minutes, 13.66 seconds. Kenya's Ronald Kwemoi got ahead in a charge for the line to take silver with American Grant Fisher adding a brilliant bronze to the one he picked up in the 10,000. "For me the 5,000m is over triple my usual distance, so it was a very tough race," Ingebrigtsen told reporters. "With the level being so high, people are running so fast this year, I knew I had to be at my very best to be able to fight for medals." 800 METERS Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi held off one of the strongest fields in history to win the gold medal in the men's 800 meters, securing his country's fifth consecutive Olympic title in the event. The 20-year-old Wanyonyi blazed to a time of one minute, 41.19 seconds, making him the third-fastest man ever over the distance. Canada's world champion Marco Arop furiously tried to overtake the Kenyan over the final 100 meters, but finished one-hundredth of a second behind in 1:41.20. Algeria's Djamel Sedjati, the favorite after going unbeaten all season and setting four world-leading times, made a tactical error in sitting near the back of the pack for too long and crossed the line in 1:41.50 for bronze. MARATHON Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola won gold in the men's marathon while Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, who had been bidding for an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic crown, failed to finish. Belgium's Bashir Abdi took silver, improving on his bronze from Tokyo, and Kenya's Benson Kipruto claimed bronze. Tola built a strong lead early on and crossed the finish line in two hours, six minutes and 26 seconds, an Olympic record time especially impressive given the course was the toughest of any Olympics or championship, according to World Athletics. "My intention was just to keep up with the people who were going out and then after some point I decided to try to push on my own," Tola said. Emerging from a pack of frontrunners from the first steep ascent of an exceptionally hilly course, the former cross country specialist seemed only to strengthen on the second hill as others faded behind him. Tola had an 18-second lead by the 35km mark, which he extended as the Eiffel Tower came into sight and crowds lining the streets roared him on. He became the first Ethiopian winner of the Olympic men's marathon in 24 years. Abdi and Kipruto were jostling with Ethiopia's Deresa Geleta for the next two steps on the podium but Geleta faded in the last two kilometers. Abdi, who began his career competing in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, finished in 2:06:47 with 33-year-old Kipruto posting a time of 2:07:00. Kipruto had posted the fastest time in the world this year having won the Tokyo Marathon in March in a personal best of 2:02:16. Britain's Emile Cairess finished an impressive fourth in 2:07:29. Kipchoge, widely considered the greatest marathon runner of all time, failed to bag a third consecutive gold, defeated by the first ascent of the course that took athletes out to Versailles. He had been among the frontrunners but that hill broke up the leading pack and proved too much for the 39-year-old, who was participating in his fifth Olympics. Kipchoge clutched his side as challengers streamed ahead of him. After the race he said back pain had overwhelmed him and made him stop. Read the full article
