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.

Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout ran the fourth-fastest under-18 100m time in history with a wind-assisted 10.04 seconds at the All-Schools Athletics Championships in Queensland. Although the time doesn't count for official records, it is the fourth-fastest by an Australian sprinter of any age. Gout later set a legal time of 10.17 seconds, breaking the Australian under-18 record. The 16-year-old, who has drawn comparisons to Usain Bolt, is set to train with Noah Lyles and aims to qualify for the Tokyo World Championships.
