Noah Lyles Gives Fred Kerley A Reality Check With Brutal Clap Back
Olympic champion Noah Lyles has responded to comments by fellow American sprinter Fred Kerley.
Gout Gout will make his European debut with the 200m race in Ostrava as he begins to get out of his ‘comfort zone’ back home.
The teenager has become a global phenomenon due to his knack for breaking records and timed 20.04 seconds last December to break the long-standing Oceanian record and also improve Usain Bolt’s world age-16 best.
Compared to legendary Bolt, Gout Gout has been living up to the hype after clocking 9.99 seconds in the Under-20 100m heats, at the Australian Athletics Championships in Perth last week, although his time did not count as he had a wind of +3.5 metres per second.
He then clocked 9.99 seconds in the final two hours later but unfortunately, the wind was +2.6 metres per second, denying him an official time yet again, while last month, he managed a wind-assisted 19.98 seconds in 200m.
