Teen Sprint Phenom Gout Gout Breaks Historic Australian 200m Record
Sixteen-year-old Australian sprinter Gout Gout has broken the country's longstanding men's 200m record, previously held by Peter Norman since the 1968 Olympics, by running a time of 20.04 seconds at the All-Schools Championships in Brisbane. Gout, who is now the fastest 16-year-old in history over 200m, has drawn comparisons to Usain Bolt and holds the new Oceania 200m record. His achievement comes just a day after recording the fourth fastest under-18 100m time in history.
