Promising Australian sprinter Gout Gout has made headlines by qualifying the fastest for this Saturday's 100-meter semifinals at the Australian junior athletics championships.

Gout, 18, set a new under-20 world record in the 200 meters last week, surpassing the youth best of legendary sprinter Usain Bolt. Despite skepticism regarding wind conditions, Gout's performance has drawn comparisons to sprinting greats and new expectations for a national open record.
