Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo lauds Australian sprinter Gout Gout for his remarkable potential in athletics. Competing at the Maurie Plant meet in Melbourne, Gout previously set an Australian record for the 200m with a time of 20.04s, surpassing a 50-year-old mark. While Tebogo will race in the 400m, he emphasizes that Gout should maintain a balanced competition approach, advising restraint despite his current prowess. The event also features Australia's fastest sprinter, Lachie Kennedy, creating a highly competitive atmosphere.
Tebogo praised Gout's top-notch style and potential, stating, "He can be one of the best, he could be in the history books if he continues with the hunger that he has right now."
Gout's impressive performance has been recognized, as he previously shattered an Australian record that stood for over 50 years, finishing the 200m in 20.04s.
Despite his potential, Tebogo advised patience, stating, "If he beats the seniors, what's going to be next? So after this, back to his age [group] and slowly but surely, he will get there."
Gout competes at the Peter Norman Memorial 200m in Melbourne, not racing Tebogo, who is focused on the 400m; a strategic choice for both young athletes.
