BeanymanNews | Josh Kerr ‘to be worshipped as a hero’ back home after silver medal win 🥈🗼 Paris 2024 Olympics @BeanymanNews | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 35 minutes ago.
A Scottish athlete who won a silver medal in the 1500m at the Olympics will be treated “as a hero” by aspiring runners on his return to Scotland, according to his first-ever coach.
Josh Kerr finished behind Cole Hocker of the US in the race in Paris.
The 26-year-old honed his craft at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh and it was full of coaches, fans and friends cheering him on on Tuesday.
Eric Fisher, Kerr’s first-ever coach, had mixed emotions as the runner’s achievement took Team GB’s total number of medals up to 45.
Mr Fisher, who began coaching Kerr when he was just eight, said: “I suppose I am sad but at the same time delighted.
“He got a silver, so we won’t give up on him! He’s got a bronze and silver, and in four years’ time the gold to get the a full set.
“These kids will be waiting to welcome Josh back into the stadium.
