One other added: "Hope he went again in a stretch limousine after that sensible performance."
A third commented: "What a legend."
Kerr was thrilled together with his world report, saying: "I needed to roll with the punches firstly of my career – fairly good but not world-class.
"After which to be world-class and now world champion… I'm having fun with it, creating huge objectives to get myself out the door and prove I'm not all speak."
Kerr's document is his newest achievement after profitable gold in the 1500m at the World Championships final summer time.
He might be hoping to continue his success in the Paris Olympics later this yr after earning a bronze in Tokyo in 2021.
