New Zealand high jumper Hamish Kerr has leapt to gold at the world indoor athletics championships in Glasgow.

The Commonwealth Games champion was too good for the field, clearing 2.36m metres, which was an Oceania record and the highest any jumper has cleared this year.

Kerr had already secured gold before his final record jump after it he collapsed to the landing mat in disbelief.

Hamish Kerr spoke to Corin Dann.
