Flushed with success: Kerr reveals his secret to maintaining a winning focus

WELLINGTON — New Zealand high jumper Hamish Kerr aims to add Olympic gold in Paris to his world indoor title — by deploying tactical toilet breaks to help him mentally reset.

The 27-year-old calls himself "the flying Kiwi", and Kerr soared to the indoor crown in March in Glasgow, winning gold with a personal best of 2.36 meters.

It remains the highest jump by any athlete this year.
