During the Australian Championships in Sydney, with a favorable wind, Gout managed to run under 20 seconds and the clock stopped at 19.67 - a time that would have been enough for a medal at the Paris Olympics.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for, says Gout, who, together with his compatriot Aidan Murphy, ran under 20 seconds.
We push each other's limits all the time. Two Australians under 20, so it's incredible.
Over two years ago, Gout began to be compared to superstar and world record holder Usain Bolt when, as a 16-year-old, he ran 200 meters in 20.04 during a school championship - faster than Bolt at the same age.
