Биография

Brandon Starc, with titles at the Diamond League, the Commonwealth Games and top-eight finishes at the Olympics and the World Championships, is one of Australia’s most consistent athletes.

Brandon made his Olympic debut in Rio 2016 and is set to take the Olympic stage for a third consecutive time at Paris 2024. He came 15th in Rio and missed out on a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics with a fifth-placed finish.

He is also a four-time Australian champion and the Australian national record holder in the men’s high jump.

Born on November 24, 1993, in New South Wales, Brandon is the younger brother of Australian men’s cricket star Mitchell Starc and the brother-in-law of the Australian women’s cricket team captain Alyssa Healy.

Brandon, who also played cricket and football in his early years, decided to pursue athletics. He started his athletics career at Parramatta Little Athletics and narrowed down his focus to the high jump event in 2009.

Making his international debut at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010, Brandon bagged a silver medal with his then-personal best of 2.19m in Singapore. The high jumper made his senior debut at the 2013 World Championships.
