The world’s biggest athletics talent, Gout Gout (16), has stunned the world once more after a video of his latest race surfaced on social media.

Gout Gout, an Australian sprinter of Sudanese origin, has been rewriting athletics history for the past two years and steadily breaking Usain Bolt’s junior records.

On December 6th, he set a new personal best in the 100 meters at the 2024 Chemist Warehouse Australian All Schools Athletics Championship, running an incredible 10.04 seconds.

This achievement places him as the fourth-fastest under-18 sprinter of all time and the fourth-fastest Australian ever, including seniors. Considering that he is two years younger than other athletes who have historically recorded faster times, it’s clear that he possesses phenomenal potential.

Unfortunately, his feat won’t go down in the record books because the race was run with a tailwind of 3.4 meters per second, exceeding the legal limit of 2.0 meters per second.

What’s particularly remarkable is that Gout Gout is faster in youth categories than Usain Bolt was at the same stage of his career. For example, at the U20 World Championships in Peru, he ran the 200 meters in 20.60 seconds, surpassing Bolt’s best time from 2002 when he was also 16.

If he continues his natural progression, there’s no doubt that the biggest achievements in global athletics lie ahead of him. Who knows, perhaps even Usain Bolt’s legendary records may one day be within his reach. It will also be interesting to see whether he represents Australia, where he lives and trains, or Sudan, the country of his origin.
