Rohan Browning could not replicate the speed that propelled him into a semi-final in Tokyo.
Browning was a regular semi-finalist, at world championship level and at Tokyo 2020. On Saturday morning, Paris time, Australia’s fastest man was run out in the heats at Paris 2024 in a performance he admitted was his most disappointing at a major championships.
Browning’s year never got going as he managed a minor knee grumble that affected his training and competition, but he refused to use this as an excuse. “I think, maybe with hindsight I would have benefited from some racing. But I made a strategic call that I needed to train to find that shape and also to rehab the knee,” he said.
“I don’t think I need to do anything revolutionary, I just need to continue to evolve … in this sport where the margins are so slim,” he said.“You know, you don’t need to go and do something drastic. I think it’s a matter of patience, sticking with it and just continuing to have to evolve.”Elsewhere in the glamour event of the Games,was beaten in his heat but progressed to the semis in 10.04s. The two fastest qualifiers were fellow US sprinters Kenneth Bendarek and Fred Kerley.
