Australian 17-year-old Gout Gout continued to demonstrate why he is the most exciting talent in sprinting right now, running the fastest 200-meter time in the world this year on Sunday.

Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout has put in a run that has to be seen to be believed as he finished more than two seconds ahead of second place in his 200m heat at the Queensland athletics championships before backing it up with a sub-20 second run in the final.

Australia’s sprint pair Rohan Browning and Joshua Azzopardi both participated in round one at the Paris Olympics and were knocked out with times of 10.20secs and 10.29secs respectively; Gout is already bettering those marks and could contend as soon as LA2028.

Youngster rose to prominence in December when he clocked the quickest time ever by a 16-year-old – beating Usain Bolt’s best at the same age.
