If you love watching Aussie runners sprint, jump, or throw, you’ve come to the right place. This page gives you quick updates on what’s happening in Australian athletics, who’s breaking records, and what you can do to improve your own game.
Australian athletes have been busy this season. In the recent Commonwealth Games, sprinter Joyce Baker surprised everyone by clocking 10.04 seconds in the 100 metres, the fastest time by an Aussie woman in a decade. Over in the distance races, veteran marathoner Liam O'Connor finally broke his personal best with a 2:12 finish at the Gold Coast Marathon.
Field events are getting just as much attention. Javelin thrower Mia Taylor landed a new national record of 62.3 metres at the Sydney Grand Prix. Her technique is simple: a strong run‑up, a clean arm swing, and a focus on a fast, low release. If you’re into throwing events, copying that rhythm can add a few metres to your own throws.
Don’t miss the Australian Athletics Championships in Melbourne next month. It’s the best place to see the nation’s top talent compete in one stadium. The schedule includes the 200 metres, 400 metres hurdles, and the long jump – all events where Australians have a good chance of making the world stage.
If you’re looking to get involved yourself, the local state meets in Queensland and Western Australia are open to club members and amateurs. Signing up early gives you a chance to train with a coach, meet other athletes, and maybe even qualify for the national team.
For fans who want to stay in the loop, the Australian Athletics Live app streams every major meet with live commentary and stats. It’s free, works on any device, and sends push notifications when your favourite athlete posts a new result.
Finally, a quick tip for anyone wanting to boost performance: focus on recovery as much as training. Ice baths, proper sleep, and a balanced diet of protein, carbs, and healthy fats can shave seconds off your sprint time and add inches to your jumps.That’s it for now – keep checking back for fresh results, athlete interviews, and practical advice to keep your athletics game strong.
Seventeen-year-old Gout Gout is shaking up athletics with record-breaking sprints that have people comparing him to Usain Bolt. After smashing the 200m junior record, the Australian sensation admits the Bolt talk feels overwhelming but remains focused on his own legacy and Olympic dreams.
