Australian sprinter, teenage Gout Gout, has set a historic time in the 200 meters, running faster than the legend Usain Bolt at the same age.
The 18-year-old recorded a fantastic time of 19.67 seconds to win the national championship in Australia, a result that puts him under the 20-second mark on a regular basis for the first time and also the fastest time in the world for the year.
This result in Sydney is faster than Bolt's time in 2004 (19.93 seconds), confirming the great potential of the young talent.
In the race, second place Aidan Murphy also went under 20 seconds with 19.88, making the race one of the strongest of the year.
Gout Gout, born in Queensland to South Sudanese parents, expressed his happiness at the achievement, saying he feels relieved and motivated for even greater results in the future.
He is expected to focus on the U20 World Championships in Oregon, leaving aside the Commonwealth Games.
