Record-breaking teenager Gout smashes 20-second barrier in 200m sprint | Athletics News

The 17 -year -old Australian heritage from southern South Sudanese the national title of 200m two days after winning the 100 m race.

The teenager Got Got has reinforced her growing reputation as one of the best young sprinches in the world by describing the 19.84 seconds assisted by the wind to win the 200 meter Australian title.

His abrasing streak on Sunday was the second fastest for an athlete below 20 years in all conditions, the 19.93 of Usain Bolt in 2004 and the 19.86 of Justin Gatlin in 2001.

He followed the 17 -year -old assault on the 100 -meter crown in the Australian Athletics Championship in Perth on Friday at 9.99 seconds.

That was also achieved with a tail wind slightly above the allowed limit, so it will not make the registration books.

His rapid development is generating a growing interest, with the school schoolboy described this year by World Athletics Sebastian Coe as a rare talent.

“It feels really good, that’s what I have been chasing,” Gout said after breaking the 20 seconds barrier.

“The maximum speed is my gift. I used it, tok and I got sub 20, so I couldn’t be happier.”

Gout, who was born in Australia after his parents emigrated from South Sudan, jumped to fame in December when he registered the fastest time of 200 meters through a young man of 16 or 20.04 seconds, the best Bolt staff at the same age.

He had to keep his nerve in the 200 -meter race after two faked athletes, including the main challenger Lachlan Kennedy, before Gout exploded from the blocks and left the rest in his path.

“I was a little nervous,” he admitted. “But in my head, I just maintain my composure, keeping calm, because this happens, you really can’t control it.

“So I made sure not to start or be unstable, and I take off.”

In December, COE described the drop as a rare talent, but said it would need to “nourish and protect.”

The Larirucho athlete has inevitably drawn comparisons with eight times Olympic gold medalist bolt at the same age.

But Coe said the teenager must be handled carefully.

“It’s clearly talented, but there is also some realism,” said the head of athletics.

“It is an outstanding talent. But I think anyone with whom you speak at the upper levels of Australian training and certainly here in World Athletics will tell you that the greatest challenge in training is to bring a talented 17 to senior teams.”

COE added: “We have to be realistic about this … The vast majority of people who win Junior world titles do not compete for their national team at the higher level.

“This is a strange and beautiful talent that will need to nurture and protect.”
