Browning eliminated in 100m semi-finals
Sprinter Rohan Browning was left to rue a slow start after coming up short in his bid to become the first Australian man in 65 years to qualify for an Olympic 100m final.
Twenty-four hours after winning his opening-round heat in a sizzling 10.01 seconds, the 23-year-old Browning finished fifth in his semi in 10.09.
The last Australian sprinter to contest an Olympic 100m decider was Hec Hogan, who took home the bronze medal from the 1956 Melbourne Games.
China's Su Bingtian was the fastest qualifier for the final later on Monday night in an Asian record of 9.83.
