On 16 January 2021, Browning ran the 100 metres in a wind-assisted time of 9.96 seconds with the tailwind being +3.3 m/s. This made Browning the second Australian sprinter ever to break the 10-second barrier—after Patrick Johnson, who first broke the barrier back in 2003 with a time of 9.93 seconds. However, the tailwind meant that the run was not legal for record purposes.
On 31 July 2021, Rohan ran a 10.01 in the heats of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Winning Heat 7, he ran the fastest 100 metres ever by an Australian at the Olympic Games.
