‘Next Usain Bolt’: Aussie teen sensation joins sporting icons with landmark deal
Fox Sports Australia n teen sprinting sensation Gout Gout has joined some of sport’s elite by signing a new deal with one of the biggest sporting brands in the world.
The high school student from Ipswich in Queensland took home a silver medal in a field full of more experienced sprinters as he flew home in 20.60 seconds to just beat Bolt’s mark of 20.61 at the 2002 Junior World Championships. “What you see of him on those videos is pretty impressive and, god, he’s going to be at the ripe age for the Brisbane Olympics coming around in a home country,” Pearson said.
Many in Australian athletics believe Gout will be in the medal frame at the Los Angeles Olympic in four years time, but he also may be primed to become a national hero in front of his home fans in Brisbane in 2032.“I’m super excited to have signed with Adidas,” Gout told Citius Mag.“I’ll stay hungry and chase down what’s next.”The teenager was born in Brisbane to South Sudanese migrants Monica and Bona, and he is one of seven children.
Keen observers were impressed even more when he backed up his fast-growing reputation with his scintillating runs in Peru.“It’s pretty cool because Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest athlete of all time and just being compared to him is a great feeling,” Gout said.
