He’s just going to set the world on fire, I think.”He’s doing the blue-riband events, as well, which everyone wants to see, so that’s going to take a lot of courage from him to be able to step up and have that belief in him, which he obviously already does, but to hold onto that all through a couple of Olympic cycles that we’re going into Brisbane.”While Gout appreciates the comparison, he remains focused on carving out his own legacy.He said: “It’s pretty cool because Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest athlete of all time and just being compared to him is a great feeling.Gout Gout ran 100m in 10.2 seconds in March 2024″Obviously, I’m Gout Gout so I’m trying to make a name for myself. If I can get to the level he was, that would be a great achievement.”But iconic US sprinter Justin Gaitlin warned against comparing Gout Gout and to a legend like Bolt.He said: “Looking at what Bolt did — and not taking anything away from Gout Gout or anybody else that’s doing their thing right now and dominating.“When Bolt was a junior, he had the junior world record, which at that point in time, in 2004, this dude ran 19 low nine. 19.93 was his record, bro.”If you put that against these guys today, he is eclipsing them.The 16-year-old often leaves his competitors trailing in the dustCredit: X/Twitter”To say that this person is the next and that person is the next, I feel like we give the microphone to the bandwagoners.“Stop putting these young athletes on a path that comes with a lot of stress and comes with a lot of pressure. Let them go out there and develop themselves.“If anything, let them say, ‘No, I’m Gout Gout, I’m about to be different. I’m [Letsile] Tebogo, I’m about to be different.”As Gout Gout continues to develop his natural talent and refine his skills, the athletics world watches on with anticipation.His performances have not only excited fans, but also raised hopes for Australia’s future in sprinting events.READ MORE SUN STORIESSally Pearson has tipped him to be at his peak by the time Australia hosts the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane — Gout Gout’s hometown.The young Australian is poised to make a significant impact on the world of athletics in the years to come.
