Torrie Lewis to Gout Gout: new generation fires Australia’s athletics resurgence | Angus Fontaine
With the likes of Peyton Craig and Claudia Hollingsworth in the team, medals are expected at the U20 Championships in Peru
Australia’s strongest team yet has assembled for the World Athletics U20 Championships starting this Tuesday, with 67 of the nation’s rising stars in Lima, Peru to light the fuse on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 2032 Games in Brisbane.
Led by 2024 Paris Olympians, Torrie Lewis, Peyton Craig and Claudia Hollingsworth, Australia’s Generation Next is widely tipped to better its most successful performance at an under-20 tournament: the 10 medals won in Sydney in 1996.
