After 11 straight misses, New Zealand's Hamish Kerr wins lengthy jump-off for high jump gold
First they put the bar up higher. Then they lowered it.
Wherever they put the bar, American Shelby McEwen and world indoor champion Hamish Kerr of New Zealand couldn’t clear it. The two high jumpers, who could have decided to tie and both get a gold medal, instead put fans through an interminable jump-off for the gold at the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
The two men had 11 straight misses - so many that there wasn’t enough room on the scoreboard for all the Xs - in regulation and the jump-off. The bar was lowered twice during the jump-off, and Kerr finally broke the streak of failures when he got over 2.34 meters (7 feet, 8 inches) to take the gold.
“To do it the way I did it was just amazing,” Kerr said. “It was crazy.”
McEwen was left with the silver, both he and Kerr having cleared 2.36 (7 feet, 8.75 inches).
At the Tokyo Olympics, a similar scenario played out and Mutaz Barshim of Qatar and Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy decided to accept the tie.
Barshim took the bronze Saturday at 2.34. Tamberi was eliminated early on.

“I have so much respect for what they did in Tokyo. But I always thought that to add to the story and to be able to be given the chance to actually do the jump-off would be so amazing,” Kerr said. “I knew straight away that we were going to make history and we did that.
“I’m pretty sure Shelby was in the same mindset because we just looked at each other and it was pretty simple,” Kerr added. “We both just nodded and off we went.”
Added McEwen, “We talked to each other, and he was like, ‘Let’s jump off.’ And I was like, ‘I’m all for it.’”
Kerr celebrated by running around the field in the center of the Stade de France deliriously.
They both missed at 2.38 in the first round of the jump-off, another two misses at 2.36 and McEwen missed at 2.34 before Kerr finally ended the first competition of the night only moments before the women’s 4x400 relay concluded the last session of track and field at the Stade de France.
“If I hadn’t cleared that jump or one very soon, we probably still would be out there,” Kerr said.
McEwen said he thought “we both got a little fatigued there at the end,” adding that he was thinking about the $50,000 prize for first place. “Most definitely, I got a family to feed. But, hey, we’re going to get back to the drawing boards and get better.”
Earlier, Tamberi failed on all three of his attempts at 2.27 - only the second height of the competition. He covered his face with his hands in disappointment and then Barshim came over to console his good friend.

And people say the Kiwi is a flightless Bird
Not now , class Hamish Kerr take a bow !
Sherwin is an example of how not to manage your career. He had a chance of Olympic gold and threw the medal away and decided on arrogance instead and lost it. Now he may not get that opportunity again. Natural selection is real. Whoever is managing him as well as the American athletics association need to think twice about selecting him. The USA could have beaten China in the medals but the stupid athlete decided he didn’t want the gold. What sponsor will sponsor such a person. The man literally threw away all the sponsorship he could have gotten. Dumb doesn’t begin to describe him.
Barshim and Tamberi sharing the gold in Tokio was one of the highlights for me. Why would anyone refuse such an opportunity. I must be missing something.
3:19 💙❤
You not missing something... you have too much of it...greediness. A medal is earned, not given as a TIE!
Its the Olympics they want to know who is the best. Jump off was the right decision
@@Fakenews438 They EARNED it by performing at an equal level and at a better level than this years olympics: 2.37m. The jump off lasted 11 jumps and they LOWERED the bar to see who was better? What?
@@caidenbolitho4784 the best was 2.36 m which they both achieved. Then they lowered the bar. Losers.
Agree!
Hamish Kerr wanted to take the tie so both USA and America could share the medal but McEwen opted for a tiebreaker jump off and lost it all
Absolutely wonderful. Well done boys
Just to clarify I thought it was Shelby that wanted to do the jump off for Gold but they both decided to have a jump off!I'm a kiwi I've seen Hamish even saying they both wanted the jump off and yes I'm a kiwi....
You are right. I have the same information. But nobody can understand their decision .
And that is the reason why both are already forgotten.
Tamberi and Barshim who decided to share their gold are legends forever.
Who won the medals in Paris? Barshim - and who else?
@@michael46 You have a strange definition of 'nobody', because the majority of athletes would do the same or at the very least understand why others would do the same even if they wouldn't...
They're competitors - so let them compete if they want to.. They've earned the right to decide how to finish the event, when you can jump more than 2.36m and face a jump-off for an Olympic medal then you can decide what is right or wrong for you... until then, you've no right to question them.
... and btw, they will both remain 2024 Olympic medallists for their entire lives, and they will remember, speak about, and be spoken about for these medals for their entire lives... They, nor anyone else, could care less if you remember them or not, they don't even know who you are...
I don’t think you are correct I watched it on live tv and the commentators mentioned that when they asked the NZ guy he said it was up to Shelby and he was the one who chose to keep jumping
Com toda certeza foi o americano, pois na última tentativa de Kerr em 2:38 tinha a oportunidade de saltar e ser o ganhador, mas não fez o salto, pois já tinha pensado empatar. Mas o egocentrismo do nortenho falou mais alto. Decisão pouco inteligente, insensata e irracional.
@@jorgenavarro9513really？
Selfish shelby now no gold
He's a racist
first，2.36， then 2.34，hm，it turned out it was low jump competition😂😂😂
Go try it then 😂 plus Hamish Kerr got atleast 238 on that jump? you wouldn't even make it in the low jump if there was one 😂😂😂
Guess white men CAN jump
Thanks for the upload.
I understand sportsmanship and i feel that decision will eat at him for life. But since I'm a empath and can look at situations objectively and wholistically, They're obviously top competitor they're competing to be number 1 for the gold for their respective countries.2nd place is 1st loser.
you can't even spell "holistically" let alone look at things that way.
This is the most biased and subjective observation I've ever seen
Respect to both guys that decided to compete till the end.
It was Shelby who refused to share gold.
@@af7863: false. They both agreed to break the tie.
Greedy
Ярослава ,может стоит присмотреться?
Not sure I like McEwen's attitude... but I guess at the end he is American what can we expect
Very stupid thing to say.
@@joegarcia54the truth?!
@@mssrRoberts hate to think where you would be without America
@@joegarcia54what are you trying to defend? I lived in America more than 20 years and she is spitting facts. Arrogance is one of the american “virtues”. If someone from America continent denies this, he/she has been living under a stone. Period.
@@brandoparedes4305 I see you’re from that Blame America first crowd. To stain a whole country by one person’s action is stupid. And one defending it doesn’t make it very smart either.
American arrogance at it's best , this the difference between Barsham & Shelby , Barshahm thinking about his country, Shelby thinking about himself
What does this mean? It’s arrogant to want to win? That’s the whole point of the Olympics. Human performance at its highest level. They should be given 2x Silvers if they want to play sharesies.
@@leastselfawarepotassiumyeah they both won but his arrogance didn’t want to share glory. Which led to his downfall.
@@leastselfawarepotassium Both achieved the same result, why not share the gold? And the idea of giving them both silver is also weird. If anything they should have shared the gold and let the person with the third best result have a bronze. That would reflect on the actual results.
@@tombeck129No, neither came in first, so they should both get silver and bronze to third. THAT would reflect the actual results. And why would someone actually want to "share" gold when they didn't earn first place?
@@Fakenews438 this is pure nonsense. Neither came second, but you want to remember them as both coming second? Pure arbitrary nonsense.
And now the American will always be remembered as coming second when he clearly did the same thing as the winner. 🙄
They may be competitors but that way I see it as a matter of being greedy, what’s wrong with sharing specially if both are getting gold, and I watched the competition on live tv and the commentators says it was up to him and he was the one who chose to keep jumping and that cost the US the tie with china in gold medal 😢
Because you know you didn’t really win. A high performance athlete should be ‘greedy’ when competing at the highest level. That’s the whole point of the Olympics.
Might start giving out participation certs too......need to stop thinking about your own selfish desires and remember why you are at the games and who you are representing, your country, your family, your friends, your support & coaching team, all those that mentored you throughout your career. You compete to win for your country!
Athletes are in it for themselves. Only an arrogant American would even care if China won more medals than them. Good on both of them for going for a jump off!
Kerr is amazing! Best zen athlete in the Olympics that I saw! Why? well, just like the zen of archery he waits until he gets the Divine nod--and you can visibly see him become of IT and then he goes!! Only that one time when he ran under the bar, I could tell he was not walking with GOD! Many athletes have the Physique to do the event but they know not how to abide in their CENTER X and wait for the NOD--where like Bruce Lee, to have ALL Technique is to have no technique AKA God's technique!! Thank you Kerr for BEING THERE!!!
Đến Olympic để thi thể thao, chứ không phải để chia vàng.
Đã thi là phải cạnh tranh đến cùng. Olp Tokyo không hay chút nào. Tổ chức olympics phải ghi lại luật rỏ ràng, không để như Tokyo.
Tokyo 2021 was much better. They had both proved to be great athletes and didn't do a stupid jump off which laster 11 jumps so they LOWERED the bar
American😂
O americano não quería compartir o ouro, ok, agora tem a prata para ele sozinho.
Gold medal for China (((
Слава Ботсване1
What kind of rules are these. They both jumped the same height. No clear winner.
Essas regras sempre existeram no atletismo nas competencias de salto com vara (no mundial passado aconteceu esse empate entre as meninas) e no salto de altura. Os dois são vencedores.
In the rules of high jump, Hamish Kerr should have won without needing the jump off. As far as I'm aware, the rules have not significantly changed regarding a tie. Hamish cleared the previous height of 2.36 on his first attempt , Shelby took 3 attempts. That should have sealed the deal for Hamish. But because that was reversed for the height before that, 2.34, with Hamish taking 3 attempts and Shelby clearing it on his third
. Both competitors had the same number of failed attempts ie 2 each but at different heights and that's what the jump off was based upon. But in the rule book, I used to compete in the high jump, it goes on count back, how many attempts each competitor took at the last cleared height, 2.36. With that info, Hamish should have won without the need for a jump off. So all in all, the right guy won in the end.
And btw, this clip is from the Tokyo 2020 (2021) Olympics and not from Paris!
