There has been a bit of fuss on social media in the last week or two about QLD sprinting sensation Gout Gout.
It's a bit surprising because the clips of Gout doing the rounds are from back in March..

I guess a bit of the interest is the fact that the World U/20 championships are on at the moment in Peru.
Gout is still only around 16.
Well about an hour or two ago Gout completely missed the start of the 200 metre final and was well down going into the bend.
He's come over the top of all the others, just failing to catch the 100 meter champion Walaza who was an Olympic relay medallist with the South African team a few weeks ago.
If you get a chance to have a look at it...this kid looks like being something special at the next Olympics and probably at his peak in Brisbane.

and...just when you thought it was safe to leave the track...
Olympian Torrie Lewis has also won a silver in the Women's 200m
