Sprint sensation Gout Gout is already the fastest Australian to have run the 200m, and Usain Bolt has described the 17-year-old’s appearance “like young me”. While he’s beginning to catch up with Bolt’s times, the teenager is also catching up to the towering Jamaican in height.
Gout’s running style has an uncanny resemblance to Bolt’s, with long strides and an upright stance supporting his ability to reach a high top speed, even if he continues to work on his starts.
