Rohan Browning

Rohan Browning (born 31 December 1997 in Crows Nest) is an Australian sprinter. He represented his country in the 4 × 100 metres relay at the 2017 World Championships without qualifying for the final. He also competed in the 100 meters at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, narrowly missing the final. Rohan currently studies a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney. On 16 January 2021, Browning ran the 100 metres in a wind-assisted time of 9.96 seconds (the tailwind being +3.3 m/s). This made Browning the second Australian sprinter to break the 10-second barrier after Patrick Johnson, who first broke the barrier back in 2003 with a 'wind-legal' and thus Australian record time of 9.93 seconds. On 31 July 2021, Rohan ran 10.01 s in winning a 100 metre heat at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the fastest 100 metres ever by an Australian at the Olympic Games and the second fastest 'wind-legal' 100m sprint time by an Australian. He also competed at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. On 23 September 2026, Rohan announced his retirement from competition. He ended his career with a final gold medal from the 4 × 100 metres relay at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
