Josh Ross

Joshua ("Josh") Ross (born 9 February 1981 in Sydney) is an Australian track and field sprinter.

Early life

Joshua Ross was born 9 February 1981 in Sydney, Australia. He spent his early childhood in south western Sydney and moved with his family to the Central Coast (New South Wales) at around age seven. He went to Woy Woy Public School and Henry Kendall High School. He is the third fastest Australian of all time, after Matt Shirvington and Patrick Johnson.

On the Central Coast, Ross attended Little Athletics and he won his first Australian title at age 10 in the long jump. Apart from the occasional school competition, however, he did not return to athletics until he was nineteen. During that time he played representative rugby league on the Central Coast.

Career

Ross attracted immediate attention as a sprinter in 2003 when he comfortably won the Stawell Gift off a mark of seven metres. In 2005, he again won the Stawell Gift – this time from the honoured scratch mark time, becoming only the second athlete to achieve this feat (behind Madagascar's Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa in 1975) and the first Australian. He also became the third person ever to win the event twice.

Famous quotes by Josh Ross:

"I definitely feel I belong in a race (that Powell is in). In Athens (2004 Olympics), looking around at the crowd, I had a sense of belonging. That's what I'm here to do, what I was born to do -- my destiny, I suppose."
"I am still developing as a sprinter and this gives me a lot of confidence for the Commonwealth Games."
"I want a medal around my neck at the MCG in March and I'm not making any bold statements that I'll win gold, but I want to make the final. Anything is possible from there and I can't wait to prove I have what it takes."
