Huge Twist For Gout Gout As More Responsibility Emerges Ahead of World Championships
Gout Gout could be set to add another new event at the World Championships if all goes according to plan.
“It’s going to be a very long season, but I’m more experienced and mature and I’m ready to push my body to its limits and make every moment count.”
After racing the 100m at the Diamond League meetings in Xiamen and Shanghai/Keqiao, Botswana’s Tebogo will step back up to his favoured distance in Doha. The world athlete of the year dipped under 20 seconds in nine 200m races in 2024.
He will be looking to break that barrier for the first time this year when he makes his Doha Diamond League debut. During the third leg of this year’s Wanda Diamond League series, Tebogo will be joined by home favourite Mutaz Barshim, one of the many former winners who will return to Qatar’s capital this week.
