But after some complications, specifically being left off the team to the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Eddie began the process of switching to represent Australia, where he actual grew up for a good portion of his early years.Eddie is now part of a new generation of sprinters coming out of Australia including names like Gout Gout and Lachlan Kennedy.In our conversation, we discuss Eddie’s transfer from New Zealand over to Australia.

At the 2026 Velocity Fest 19, 5-time Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson-Herah ran her first 100m in 2 years and clocked a time of 10.92 seconds. This was was a shocking performance in that, it indicated she was almost certainly back from the injuries that kept her out of the sport for so long, and may be trending back towards the performances that brought her to the world and Olympic medals.But, in 2024 and 2025, while she was sitting out and most people questioned if she would even return, Ato Boldon shared his thoughts about Elaine likely no longer being a threat and not being able to get back to that previous form.
