Gout Gout's achievement of breaking Peter Norman's 56-year-old 200m national record showcases his extraordinary talent, setting a new benchmark for Australian sprinting.
I didn't expect it to be that fast but I guess I ran Australia's fastest ever time in the 200. I have been chasing that record but I didn't think it would come this year.
My video went viral right before world juniors and that already created pressure, Gout said. But you know what they say, pressure makes diamonds and I guess I'm better than a diamond right now.
Gout is now the second fastest under-18 sprinter over 200m, trailing only Erriyon Knighton. His rapid progress marks him as a significant future talent.
