Gout Gout's winds of change whip Australian athletics into frenzy
Briefly

Seventeen-year-old Gout Gout dined with adults before making history in Australian athletics, winning his first open-age national championship. Amidst his success, his impressive times in the 100m and 200m races have been marred by excessive tailwinds, preventing them from entering the record books. Despite these challenges, coach Di Sheppard praised Gout's extraordinary talent and speed, comparing him to a genie whose potential is only limited by environmental conditions. Gout's achievement at such a young age positions him among the world's elite sprinters.
With the cork free, the only thing keeping the genie inside appears to be the wind. Gout has now run a sub-20-second race in the 200m twice.
He brings his own wind event with him, he's that fast he creates his own wind, Sheppard said. The wind cannot blow away the truth.
