For Kerr the event said he loved being involved in the event and using innovation to promote the sport.
“It was an awesome experience. It is new era of athletic meets and to be a part of something special like this is something I’m grateful for. In terms of the comp itself, the crowd was amazing and the atmosphere was electric.
Personally, I’m proud of a lot of things and how we’ve built over the past few weeks, and we’ve been trialling a few new things in the build up to Paris. But, ultimately, I lacked consistency at the higher heights. It is something we will review and focus on the way home and rectify for the next few comps.”
Men's high jump is not among the disciplines being contested in Friday's Diamon League meet in Doha.
