London, England; 21 July 2024 – The stars of Australian athletics have made a statement days before the Paris Olympics begins, with Mackenzie Little, Nina Kennedy and Oli Hoare clinching wins at the London Diamond League, while the Australian women’s 4x100m relay team strike again with another record breaking performance.

Astoundingly, Kosgei believes that she could can go quicker. “I think 2:10 is possible for a lady. I am focused on reducing my time again.”
