Noah Lyles sat opposite Gout Gout as the 17-year-old schoolboy from Queensland quietly but unabashedly told the American star he planned to beat him … this year.
The world and Olympic champion sprinter sat opposite Gout Gout as the 17-year-old schoolboy from Queensland quietly but unabashedly told the American star he planned to beat him … this year.. It was about learning from the world’s best, but similarly he wanted Lyles to know he was determined not to be intimidated. He might only be 17 at this year’s world championships in Tokyo in September, but he still wanted to beat the American champion 100-metre and 200m sprinter.
Gout, who turned 17 at Christmas, returned to school for year 12 this week. But his education started a few weeks ago in Florida, well before he went back to school. For those weeks he immersed himself with Lyles, Brauman and the training group.
“It wasn’t about sitting down and having those long one-on-one conversations. That was not what it was about. Noah gave him little hints here and there when they were training, but it was more about being in the environment,” Sheppard said.
