Azzopardi Feels Robbed of Commonwealth Spot

Twenty-six-year-old sprinter Josh Azzopardi is furious he didn’t make Australia’s Commonwealth Games 100m team, despite beating two-time Olympian Rohan Browning at nationals. Azzopardi, who finished just 0.03 seconds ahead, feels “absolutely robbed” and believes his solid season was overlooked—selecting him only for the relay. He took his case to social media and the National Sports Tribunal, both to no avail, but remains committed to representing Australia in the relay. The selectors called it a “gut call,” weighing history and recent form, leaving Azzopardi—and many in the athletics community—wondering if the system truly values individual merit.
