Australia has a new star in the world of athletics: 16-year-old Gout Gout. On December 7th, at the Australian All Schools Championships in Brisbane, the teenager stunned spectators by running the 200-meter sprint in an incredible 20.04 seconds. This breathtaking performance broke the national record set by Peter Norman, who had clocked 20.06 seconds at the 1968 Olympics.
Speaking about his achievement, Gout said, “It’s pretty crazy. I’ve been chasing that record, but I didn’t think it would come this year.” His remarkable run not only secured him the national title but also made him the fastest sprinter in Oceania and the world’s fastest 16-year-old over the 200-meter distance.
Unsurprisingly, his performance has drawn comparisons to sprinting legend Usain Bolt, who still holds the world record of 19.19 seconds. Even Bolt himself took notice, commenting on Instagram, “He looks like young me.”
With this extraordinary feat, Gout Gout has solidified his place as a rising star in athletics. The world will undoubtedly be watching as his career unfolds, wondering just how far this young sprinter can go.
