18-Year-Old Australian Sprinter Smashes Usain Bolt’s Youth 200m Record with 19.67s

I was amazed when 18-year-old Gout Gout clocked 19.67 seconds in the 200 metres at the Australian Athletics Championships on April 12. This run eclipsed Usain Bolt’s best pre-23 time of 19.93 and marked Gout’s first legal sub-20 performance. He improved sharply from his previous best of 20.02. In a strong final, Aidan Murphy finished second in 19.88s and Caleb Law took third in 20.21s. Gout pulled away after the bend to seal a landmark victory. His time places him among the quickest sprinters worldwide this season and underscores his rapid progression.
