Teen sprint sensation Gout Gout clinched the 200-metre title two days after after winning the 100m race in the Australian Athletics Championships in Perth in 9.99 seconds.
Teenager Gout Gout reinforced his growing reputation as one of the best young sprinters in the world Sunday by clocking a wind-assisted 19.84 seconds to win the Australian 200m title.
His blistering run was the second fastest ever by an athlete under-20 among all conditions, surpassing Usain Bolt’s 19.93 in 2004 and Justin Gatlin’s 19.86 in 2001.
It followed the 17-year-old storming to the 100m crown at the Australian Athletics Championships in Perth on Friday in 9.99 sec.
