Gout Gout has been on an extraordinary rise to fame since his exceptional run at the Queensland Athletic championship. What made it so special? Well, the sheer speed that the young speedster showed as he won the 100m race with a whirlwind time of 10.38 seconds. Yet, what was even crazier was the fact that the 17-year-old was a whole 0.43 seconds ahead of the second-ranked sprinter. But while many expected this run of dominance to continue, the youngster seems to have gotten in quite a stumble. But what happened?
After all, this wasn’t the only race where he was dominating. Just a few days back, he got a sub-10-second 100m run even though he was disqualified. And he did it despite less-than-ideal weather conditions. Add that to his silver medal in the 200m at the 2024 World Junior Championships in Peru, and it’s clear—this teenager is already making a global name for himself.
But now the young Aussie has been one-upped by a fellow Australian. The “Track and Field Gazette” has posted about the same on X, with the caption, “Lachlan Kennedy beats Gout Gout to win the men’s 200m at the Maurie Plant Meet.”
