Atheltics: 16-year-old Aussie sensation Gout Gout has ran a jawdropping 20:04s in his 200m final at the Australian All Schools Athletics, breaking the previous 200m Australian record that was set by Peter Norman in 1968.
Schoolboy sensation Gout Gout ’s feat in, and running faster at the same age than the greatest sprinter in history, Usain Bolt , has created shockwaves across the sporting globe in the last 48 hours.
He will do a long-planned meet and greet with his sponsor adidas in Melbourne this week, and he will travel to Florida in January with his coach Di Sheppard and Templeton for a two-week training camp alongside Olympic and world 100m champion Noah Lyles and his coach Lance Brauman, arranged through adidas.
“Di and I are pretty good at saying no to the distractions and we will continue to do that,’’ Templeton said. Australia’s most recent Olympic track champion Sally Pearson has already reached out to Gout to offer him support, advising him: “Just stay focussed on performing and you will be alright – and enjoy the ride.’’
“If you like the big stage, and the crowd and people talking about you, and I think he does, that makes it easier. When he gets to the age when he can really shine, it’s going to be incredible. I hope he just goes and flies, because we haven’t had someone like this in Australia before.’’
