Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout has blown his rivals away with a spectacular run at the All Schools Athletics Championships in Brisbane on Friday. The 16-year-old showed why he has been labelled the next Usain Bolt with a ridiculous time of 10.04 — a new meet record — in his heat. After starting well, Gout looked like he was running on air as he went within a whisker of breaking the magical 10-second barrier.
04 seconds being recorded as a national under-18 record in this much-hyped performance on his home track. His time crushed Jack Hale’s meet record of 10.13 and promises of more to come as he closes in on an elusive sub-10 second run and Patrick Johnson’s 9.93 national record set in Japan 21 years ago. Gout’s reputation has snowballed this past year. He has become a social media sensation even to casual observers of athletics who’ve gorged on viral videos of his track success.
