          Kerr's clearances have been made easily but his misses are not even close. Not sure what is going on with him.

            Kerr nails 2.24. No problem.

              First heat in the men's 5000m ended up carnage on the final lap after a relatively slower paced race left the whole bunch together. Five falls.

                And a French and a Briton almost at fisticuffs at the end of it. But neither of those two seemed to have been caught up in the two falls?

                    Kerr cleared 2.27 pretty easily. Surely we will drop at least 2 at this height. He should be safe now.

                        Missed them.
                        Only saw one replay, but my eye was drawn to the Spaniard cutting in front of the guy in black and white. Thought that caused it. Maybe the Spaniard was trying to avoid french/British.

                                        I didn't see Kerr's earlier jumps but it looks like he had several goes at each height. Got home to see him clear 2.27, he looks a pretty cool customer
