Aussie teen blows the field away to go viral... again

Australian track and field sensation Gout Gout has done it again. The teenager has gone viral for the second time in as many weeks with his latest jaw-dropping feat.

In the fourth 200m heat at the junior world championships in Lima, Peru, the 16-year-old proved he was multiple levels above his competition.

Starting in lane seven, the Aussie got off to a decent start as he quickly made his way into the lead before the field rounded the bend onto the final straight.

But it was in the final 100m when he really showed why he has the athletics world salivating over his potential.

The youngster comfortably put distance between himself and the remainder of the field before he fired his biggest warning shot of all.

Over the course of the final 50m it appeared Gout had taken his foot off the gas, before he really relaxed over the final 10-15m.

What makes the run even crazier however is he clocked a 20.77 despite the completely relaxed nature down the stretch.

Gout burst onto the scene when a video from the Queensland Athletics Championships went viral last week.

The mind-blowing footage showed Gout running a 100m race where he recorded a blistering time of 10.29.

The teenager’s effort matched compatriot Rohan Browning’s heat run at the Paris Games and was just a tick outside fellow Aussie Josh Azzopardi’s 10.20s Olympic heat.

Gout’s effort improved upon the 10.57s he ran in November 2022, which set a new under-16 Australian record.

Gout roared away from the field in that 100m sprint, with his only obstacle seemingly finding a way to slow down.

Fans online couldn’t quite believe what they were watching as many quickly likened him to Jamaican all-time great Usain Bolt.

Athletics Australia president and Olympian Jane Flemming was among the figures to make the Bolt comparison earlier this year and to his credit, Gout is not shying away from it.

“It’s pretty cool because Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest athlete of all time and just being compared to him is a great feeling,” Gout said at the national championships in April.

“Obviously I’m Gout Gout so I’m trying make a name for myself.

“If I can get to the level he was that would be a great achievement.”
