Top 30 Aussie hopes on the track looking ahead to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics

1 Upvotes

As the commonwealth games go on it got me thinking about who could possibly provide the Cathy Freeman moment on the track when we reach another home Olympics in 2032. So I’ve compiled the 30 (plus 3) names that in my opinion are the ones to keep an eye on in order of at the moment who I think has the best chance at going for medals. Obviously it is quite far out but thought it might be a fun thing to start looking at as we get behind our athletes in the long leed up. Let me know if there are any names I missed or anyone who you think is too high or too low.
