High jumper Hamish Kerr has won gold at the World Athletics Championships overnight in Tokyo
It's been a brilliant two days on the track for New Zealand.
Geordie Beamish became the first New Zealander to claim a world title at the Championships coming from behind to win the men's 3000m steeplechase.
Beamish's win was so unexpected, the defending champion didn't even know his name, and his win was all the more impressive after his fall in the heats where he has his face trampled on by a competitor
To discuss the significance of the wins Emeritus Professor David Gerrard joins Jesse.
David was a champion swimmer, sports doctor, Olympic and Commonwealth Games team selector and New Zealand team chef de mission at the 1996 Atlanta games.
