Gout Gout is a name that you might not have come across. However, if you have recently come across that clip of a youngster taking massive lead in the 100m race of the Queenslands Athletics Championships, associate this name to that Australian teenage sprinter. The 16-year-old registered a time of 10.29 seconds in the tournament in March. Since then he has often been compared to the Jamaican spinting legend Usain Bolt.

Even though Gout, born to South Sudanese parents who moved to Australia a few years before he was born, is being called the next Boult, there is still fair distance for him to cover before he can break Boult's world record which stands at 9.58 seconds. That being said, it seems like Gout is yet to peak and that record may not be out of reach especially if that video is anythig to go by.

Will Gout Gout play Next Olympics?

While the next Los Angeles (LA) Olympics is still some time away, with Gout winning the Queensland Athletics Championships, he should surely be in the reckoning for the Olympics that takes place in his home state of Queensland by the time Olympics moves to Brisbane in 2032.

Gout is already an Australian Under-16 national record holder in the men's 100m and 200m races and given his performances so far in the early days of his career, there is every reason to believe that it's a name that sports lovers will continue to come across in the times to come.
