“A disaster for the Australians,” Bruce McAvaney said in commentary.
“I’ve never seen anything quite like it to be truthful.”
“That was awful,” Tamsyn Lewis-Manou added.
“He looks devastated. Rohan would not have been able to do a lot of this training, he would have been focusing on getting his body right. He just really stumbled when he took his acceleration phase.”
The Australians were in the top three positions and set to make the final before Browning’s fall.
A “gutted” Browning apologised to his teammates post-race when speaking with Channel 7.
“So sorry, I know these boys put in so much work and in many years of athletics nothing like that has ever happened and hopefully never again,” he said.
“I’m so sorry to these boys and everyone at home. I just caught my toe and slipped. Like I said, [it has] never happened at training or races.”
