## Resource

The fastest Australian to run 100m isn't Gout Gout, Lachie Kennedy or even Patrick Johnson. It's Eddie Nketia. His story is kind of insane, he's dabbled in rugby union and American football. He holds the national records for New Zealand, but he has quit the Kiwis to run for Australia. Running in the US college system has unlocked his best ever times and he thinks he can get much quicker. Eddie joins us to talk about the lot. Featured: Eddie Nketia, Australian sprinter.
