SPOTLIGHT SPECIAL Watch Gout Gout’s incredible journey so far
Fresh off a breakout season that saw him win 200m silver at the World Under 20 Championships and take down Australia’s longest standing open-age record, Gout will swap his Year 12 textbooks for spikes to travel to Melbourne and compete in the iconic event.
He will take on a world-class field in the 200m named in honour of Australia’s legendary Olympic sprinter Peter Norman, whose Australian record of 20.06 seconds from 1968 stood until Gout stormed to a sensational 20.04-second performance at the Chemist Warehouse Australian All Schools Athletics Championships in December.
Gout won’t be the only big name in action on what is shaping as a bumper night.
Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo is confirmed for the 400m, Australia’s fastest woman Torrie Lewis locked in over 200m and sprint sensation Lachlan Kennedy is also lighting up the track.
