Australian teenage sprint sensation, Gout Gout, made headlines after he ran the fourth fastest U18 100m time in history in December 2024.

The 16 year old, who was dubbed 'the new me' by Usain Bolt, also won silver in the 200m at the World U20 Championships, broke the Australian 200m national record with 20.04 seconds, and signed his first contract with adidas in 2024. Gout Gout is set to compete at the Queensland state titles and the Maurie Plant Meet at Lakeside Stadium in March 2025.
