Australia’s sprinting prodigy Gout Gout has once again left the athletics world buzzing after a jaw-dropping performance at the Stawell Gift. The 17-year-old tore through his heat in the prestigious handicapped race, with footage of his blistering speed quickly going viral.
Regularly compared to Usain Bolt, Gout has been building a reputation as the most exciting young sprinters on the planet. His effortless stride and explosive finish had spectators in Victoria stunned, reminding everyone that this schoolboy star is far from ordinary.
With each performance, Gout is not just living up to the hype — he’s rewriting what’s possible at his age. The world is watching.
Gout Gout reflected on his Stawell Gift heat win with trademark humility and insight, saying:
“The 120 (metres) is literally like one of the perfect distances for me because in the 100s, obviously, I don’t get that much time to get up in my top speed. I get that extra 20 metres here, it’s definitely great and hopefully I can run down a few more people.”
