Gout Gout

Australian Athletics is seeing something of a resurgence with sprinters leading the charge. At the forefront of this is Australian-born Gout Gout.

The son of immigrants who fled from war-torn South Sudan, teenage Gout Gout has been the talk of the athletic world since his first victory at his school athletics carnival in Ipwswich, Queensland.

Now, the gifted athlete is breaking records—he currently holds the World Record for Under 20s in the 200m sprint.

Likened to Usain Bolt, one of the greatest sprinters of all time, Gout Gout prepares to take his place amongst the world’s best.
