Gout Gout is leaving the world of athletics in shock. At just 18 years old, he became the fastest Under-20 in history in the 200 meters, even surpassing marks that Usain Bolt recorded as a junior.
At the Australian national championships, the young sprinter completed the distance in an impressive 19.67 seconds, becoming the first U20 athlete ever to break the 20 second barrier.
The race became even more historic with Aidan Murphy also achieving a time below 20 seconds, something unprecedented until then among athletes in the same age group.
With this record, Gout Gout enters directly into the world elite, already occupying a place among the fastest of all time in the 200 meters.
A display that not only breaks records, but also sends out a clear warning: there is a new phenomenon in global speed.
