“Wow, that was so sensible. Rohan Browning take your hat off. That was simply unbelievable,” Tamsyn Manou stated on Seven.

“Australians, we’ve a sprinter that has made the semifinal. He gained the warmth and beat a high quality subject. He didn’t simply win it. He gained it simply. And in fashion.”

Browning isn’t just aiming at the final, although.

“Unquestionably, finals and past,” he stated post-race.

“There are quite a lot of media pundits who’re writing up actually well-meaning tales about how nice it might be for me to make the finals, however you recognize I’ve by no means been right here simply to make the ultimate.

“It doesn’t matter what the bookies say, the pundits, the punters. I hope there are just a few extra believers tonight.”
