Teenage sprinter Gout Gout entered the record books after breaking one of Australia’s most famous records at the All-Schools Championships in Brisbane. The 16-year-old clocked 20.04 seconds in the men’s 200m final, breaking the national record set by Peter Norman when he won silver at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico. Gout’s 200m time was also the fastest ever by a 16-year-old and the second fastest by an athlete under the age of 18 – behind Erriyon Knighton’s 19.84 as a 17-year-old in 2021
