Rohan Browning

PRINT PAGE

Rohan Browning (athletics) made his first Commonwealth Games appearance at the 2018 Gold Coast Games where he missed the men’s 100m final by an antagonising one one-thousandth of a second. Four years later in Birmingham, he was again the top Australian, this time finishing 6th. He also anchored the 4x100m relay, however his fall before the final baton change denied the Australians a spot in the final.

Browning became an Aussie sensation at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics when he became the first Australian man in 17 years to compete in the individual 100m. He ran an incredible 10.01 seconds to win his heat – the second-fastest time on the Australian books – then just missed out on the final when he finished fifth in his semi. However, his second Olympic appearance in Paris in 2024 ended in disappointment when he was run out in the heats of the 100m.

Browning, who entered the world of athletics at the relatively late age of 13, has also represented Australia at four world championships (2017, 2019, 2022, 2023), reaching the 100m semi-final for the first time in 2023.

Off the track, completed his Bachelor of Law/Arts at the University of Sydney where he was awarded the Richard Coombes Memorial Award for Most Outstanding Male Athlete in 2021.
