Gout Gout, 17, breaks 20-second barrier to win Australian 200m: ‘Top speed is my gift'
Teenage sprinter Gout Gout won the Australian 200m title on Sunday with a wind-assisted 19.84-second run in Perth. The 17-year-old ran 0.2 seconds quicker than his national record, but it will not count as a new record due to a wind speed of +2.2 metres per second. Gout, born in Australia after his parents migrated from South Sudan, is the second fastest 200m sprinter under-20 in all conditions; only American Erriyon Knighton, then aged 18, has run fasted when he clocked 19.49 at the LSU Invitational in 2022. Advertisement Gout's time on Sunday surpasses Usain Bolt's 19.93 in 2004 and Justin Gatlin's 19.86 in 2001. It comes two days after Gout won the Under-20 100m Australian title in 9.99, also achieved with a tailwind above the permitted limit. 'Feels pretty good,' Gout said after Sunday's run. 'That's what I've been chasing, I've been chasing getting that sub 10, focusing on my first hundred and that's exactly what I did. 'I got out, I sent it. Top speed is my gift. I used it, took off and I got sub 20 so I couldn't be happier. 'I think (I'm) maybe one of the youngest to ever win a men's national title, so it definitely feels great. Couldn't be happier for sure.' Gout's record came after a false-start for two athletes, including his main challenger Lachlan Kennedy. 'I was a bit nervous,' he admitted. 'But in my head, I'm just keeping my composure, keeping calm, because this stuff happens, you can't really control it. 'So I just made sure I didn't false start or be unsteady, and I took off.' In December, Gout became the fastest 16-year-old in history over 200m with a 20.04-second run during the Australian schools championships in Brisbane. ()
