Seventeen-year-old Gout Gout won the Australian 200m title and broke the 20-second barrier with a wind-assisted performance in Perth.

He crossed the line in 19.84 seconds – 0.2secs faster than his own national record, but it was not official record because of a wind speed of +2.2 metres per second.

Gout became the second fastest under-20 200m sprinter in history in all conditions – behind American Erriyon Knighton, who clocked 19.49 at the LSU Invitational in 2022.

“Top speed is my gift. I used it, took off and I got sub-20, so I couldn’t be happier,” said Gout, who ran a legal 20.21 in the heats.
