"I created the problems myself, said Kerr. People watching, that it is not how you win a world medal. I knew I had to get the close right, otherwise I would have had a pretty tough conversation with my coach."
"I was trying to relax in the chaos a bit and trust that I am fitter and better than the guys in there. But that's racing."
"I didn't look back, I felt like I had good power in the last 100, but it would have been nice to watch it, said Kerr. Because when I went, it was a little early, but I had some juice in me in the last 100m so I was happy."
