• Sprint sensation clocks 20.05 secs at Queensland Championships
• 17-year-old runs fastest 200m in world this year in U20 heat

Sprint sensation Gout Gout, Australia’s fastest man over 200m, has lit up the track with a world-leading run during the under-20 heats at the Queensland Athletics championships on Sunday.

Gout blitzed the field by more than two seconds to cross the line in 20.05s for the fastest all-age 200m recorded across the globe in 2025. The 17-year-old smashed the 20.13s clocked by Zimbabwe’s Makanakaishe Charamba in Texas last month.
