SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian teenager Gout Gout underlined his startling potential and earned more comparisons with Usain Bolt by running the 200 metres in a wind-assisted 19.98 seconds at the Queensland state championships on Sunday.
The breeze of 3.6 metres per second means his dip under the 20-second barrier will not be entered into the record books but his 20.05 in the heats was the fastest in the world this year, albeit at a time when most sprinters are not competing outdoors.
