The world of athletics is buzzing with excitement as 16-year-old Australian sprinter Gout Gout has captured attention by breaking records that echo the legendary Usain Bolt. At the All-Schools Athletics Championships, Gout clocked an astonishing 20.04 seconds in the 200 meters, shattering a record set by Peter Norman in 1968. His performance not only places him as the second-fastest U18 runner ever but also draws direct comparisons to Bolt's early career achievements, with Bolt himself stating, "He looks like young me." Gout's remarkable times in both the 100m and 200m events have positioned him as a potential future star in sprinting, raising questions about his trajectory in the sport and whether he can sustain this pace against elite competition.
