    World champion high jumper Hamish Kerr has fired a warning to his rivals that he believes a strong offseason will take him to another level


    The Olympic, Commonwealth Games, world indoor and Diamond League winner equalled his personal best of 2.36 metres in clinching the world championships crown in Tokyo to complete his trophy cabinet.

    Kerr says he's been under time pressure to the next major competition since he started jumping in January.
