I want to be the greatest: Josh Ross Sprinter Josh Ross wants to be Australia's greatest athlete. And the 32-year-old says he's being driven by fear to achieve his goal. "The fear of not succeeding, the fear of not having a great life, a great career, that is what drives me," Ross said after winning the 100 metres at the Adelaide Track Classic on Saturday night. I want to be the best athlete Australia has ever seen, the best sprinter Australia has ever seen. I want success away from the track as well, in business and everything. Ross, who clocked 10.45 seconds to easily win in Adelaide, said he was in best-ever shape. The speedster quit athletics in 2009, but returned last year to claim his sixth 100m national title and a berth in Australia's 4x100m relay team at the London Olympics. "I feel I'm in the peak condition - physically, mentally - of my whole career," he said. I'm a way better athlete than I ever was. Ross, who boasts a 100m personal best of 10.08s, said breaking the 10 second barrier was so close "I can taste it." His victory in Adelaide came running into a strong head wind which upset Australia's women's 100m champion Mel Breen. The 23-year-old won in 11.59s but complained that organisers reneged on a promise to run the 100m along the back straight with a tail wind. "To promise something and not deliver is just a little disappointing," Breen said. In contrast, Ross said he hadn't even thought about running the sprints along the back straight. I didn't even think about that, I just came out here and ran fast, no matter what the conditions, I'm not leaving conditions as the main factor as to why I'm going to run fast. Organisers did change the direction of the 200m events, with Breen winning her race in 23.52s and Ross finishing second to Nick Hough (20.71s).
