Five months out from Paris 2024<\/a>, Australian sprinting king Rohan Browning<\/a> means business.<\/p>\n

After narrowly missing out on qualifying for the final during Toyko 2020\ufeff, the 26-year-old is ready to take the next step in a few months' time.<\/p>\n

Browning's personal best of 10.01 seconds for the 100m sprint is so close to the entry standard of 10.00\ufeff.<\/p>\n

"(It was) my best-ever run. I just know I have to improve a couple of per cent. It sounds so straight forward and the reality is, it obviously isn't," Browning told 9News on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his time in Tokyo three years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic, the New South Welshman from Crows Nest is ready for an even bigger taste in Paris.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Tokyo was a really special experience for me, my first Olympics. But obviously\ufeff the eeriness of the stadium is super weird," he said.<\/p>\n

"Paris will be pure magic."<\/p>\n

He knows it won't be that easy to break that 10-second barrier, but this time around, he's got a support network who will be able to ride each bump with the Australian with him overseas.<\/p>\n

It will be a far cry from his Tokyo experience, with no fans allowed in the stands and no families in attendance to support the athletes.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I'm pretty optimistic and just excited about being back out there," Browning said.<\/p>\n

"Needless to say I better qualify, or I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do. A lot of people are going to be out of pocket a lot of money.<\/p>\n

"It will be really special to share those moments with them\ufeff."<\/p>\n

\ufeffThere is no crazy method to shave that extra bit of time off his personal best, but a haircut may just be the answer.<\/p>\n

Despite being known for his iconic mullet during Tokyo 2020, he declares he is "more mature" and ready to make a fresh appearance, with or without the extra hair.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"Fast-forward three years from Tokyo and I've entered a more mature phase of my life. I think I've left it (the mullet) behind. It's much more refined," Browning said.<\/p>\n

"It's not particularly aerodynamic as it is. I'm certainly overdue for a haircut. It's on my radar!"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
