I don't feel too bad at all and I know I am in great shape so I am not worried.<\/p>\n "But I will come back tomorrow and do what I have to do."<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australia is still buzzing after sprint star Rohan Browning stunned Jamaica's Yohan Blake in the 100m sprint heats.
