Josh Kerr says the opportunity to win 1500m gold at Los Angeles 2028 and complete the full set of Olympic medals will drive him on for the next four years.
Josh Kerr says the prospect of winning 1500m gold in a Hollywood ending in Los Angeles to complete the full set of Olympic medals will motivate him for the next four years.
It means Kerr must win as a 30-year-old at the 2028 Games in his adopted home of LA if he is to claim Olympic gold."It's not what I wanted but the silver is something physical to show for the work I've put in," he told BBC Sport Scotland. "The competitor in me is thinking straight towards that. But the human inside me thinks I put together the best race I've ever run and walked away with an Olympic silver medal, which is pretty cool."
Viewed through that prism, the Scot could take satisfaction as he savoured "a couple of pints" with his family post-race, before being up after "about 20 minutes' sleep" to do the rounds with the media.
