Sprint sensation Rohan Browning WINS his 100m heat to become the second-fastest Australian Olympian of all time

Sprint star Rohan Browning has won his opening-round 100m heat at the Tokyo Olympics in spectacular style and moved to second spot on the Australian all-time list.

Browning left the likes of 2011 world champion Yohan Blake from Jamaica in his wake as he stopped the clock at 10.01 seconds.

The only Australian to have clocked a faster legal time was Patrick Johnson, who ran 9.93 back in 2003.

Johnson was the equal fifth fastest qualifier for Sunday’s semis, with Canadian Andre de Grasse topping the timesheets with 9.91.
