Gout Gout rose to global prominence after shattering Usain Bolt's U-20 200m record last December,
Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout has opened up on how the pressure of being dubbed the next Usain Bolt is putting him under pressure to set the bar high for the rest of his country men.
At just 17 years old, Gout is rewriting the record books and sparking comparisons with some of the greatest figures in Australian sprinting history.
His standout achievements at the 2024 Australian All Schools Athletics Championships in Queensland have propelled him into the spotlight, making him a name to watch as he continues his meteoric rise in the sport.
Patrick Johnson remains the only Australian to run a sub-10-second 100m, set the national record of 9.93 seconds in 2003. Johnson’s achievement has stood as a testament to his talent and remains an aspirational benchmark for Australian sprinters.

Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy is facing increasing pressure to move past captain Michael Olunga.
However, Gout Gout, of South Sudanese heritage, is on course to potentially become the next great thing at global level, given he is better at his age than the great Usain Bolt was, if the records are anything to go by.
Speaking out on the pressure of becoming the next big thing
)
Speaking during an appearance on Beyond the Records podcast with Grant Holloway and Noah Lyles -one of his idols who he got to train with in December - Gout Gout opened up on the increased level of expectation he now has as an athlete expected to be the next big thing.
"Crosses my mind sometimes for sure—just me being me and thinking about how people are literally looking up to me and trying to be like me,” Gout Gout shared.
“It’s crazy to think about, because I was once that kid trying to be the next... no, trying to be Usain Bolt, trying to be the next Noah Lyles. And now, me being the next icon? It’s definitely surreal—it’s crazy, for sure.”

Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy reveals why Mohammed Bajaber is his kind of player
Mohammed Bajaber has earned praise from Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy who has revealed how he left an impression on him during their recent conversations.
Gout Gout believes he has what it takes to carry the burden of a whole country and continent (Australia & Oceania) on his shoulders.
"Yeah, I definitely think about that. For me, I’ve got to set the bar extremely high for the rest of Australia. Because if I can set it that high, it can inspire the rest of the country—show them that someone like me can actually do it.
“And maybe one day, someone else from Australia can reach that level too and set the table just like I did.
I think being me and showing the world that I can set the bar at the highest possible limit—that’s how I can show Australia that anyone, just like them, can do it too. Breaking these records means something bigger than just me."

Michael Olunga: 3 reasons Harambee Stars captain scores freely for Al Duhail but less frequenty for Kenya
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has received criticism for not translating his great club form to the national team but what are the factors that contribute to this?
Numbers don’t lie
)
Gout Gout’s performances have already begun to echo those of these greats. His wind-assisted 10.04 seconds in the 100m heats at the All Schools Championships is the fourth-fastest time in history for an under-18 athlete.
Although the tailwind made the time ineligible for official records, his 10.17 seconds in the final was a legitimate and sensational effort. This performance places him sixth on the all-time list for under-18 athletes, with the tantalizing prospect of breaking Johnson’s record in the near future.
Even more impressive was Gout’s record-breaking 200m run. Clocking a wind-legal 20.04 seconds, he shattered Peter Norman’s long-standing Australian record.
By breaking barriers and records, Gout is not only contributing to the evolution of Australian sprinting but also inspiring a new generation to pursue their dreams with determination and confidence.
