16-Year-Old Gout Gout Breaks National, Oceania 200m Records at Australian Championships
Dec 7, 2024, 12:11 PM
Gout Gout, a 16-year-old Australian sprinter, has made headlines by breaking the national and Oceania record for the 200m with a time of 20.04 seconds at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships. This performance not only surpassed the record held by Peter Norman since the 1968 Olympics but also made Gout the fastest 16-year-old in history over this distance, eclipsing Usain Bolt's time at the same age. Gout's achievements have drawn comparisons to Bolt, with some suggesting he could be the next sprinting legend. He also ran a wind-assisted 10.04 seconds in the 100m, marking the fourth fastest time in all conditions by an Australian in history. In the 100m final, he clocked 10.17 seconds, and in another 200m heat, he recorded 20.38 seconds with a wind assistance of 2.5m/s.
