Determined youth, Gout, remains optimistic despite missing the 200m final race due to hunger.

In the bustling city of Tokyo, a new star was born on the athletics stage. At just 17 years old, Australian sprinter Gout Gout made his world championships debut in the 200 metres event, attracting global attention due to his rapid development and striking similarities to the legendary Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt.

Gout's strategy in his Tokyo run was to go out hard and maintain pace, a pattern he has developed throughout his career. However, his debut performance didn't quite meet expectations, with a time of 20.23. Despite this sluggish start, Gout remained composed, showing little frustration.

In an interview, Gout expressed his belief that he can improve his performance by executing his race plan better. He also stated that he plans to maintain his current racing strategy, focusing on building pace toward the back end of his races. Gout's confidence in his future performance remains unshaken, with a bold prediction of achieving a sub-20 run.

Gout's personal best time is 20.02, a record he set during his debut. This impressive time has earned him the title of the second-fastest 17-year-old in Australian history. Gout is determined to improve upon this time, setting his sights on breaking the 20-second barrier.

Gout's focus is on getting stronger to improve his speed. He believes that bulking up as he matures will help him go faster. With 15 years left in his career, Gout is confident that he has ample time to fine-tune his technique and reach new heights.

In Tokyo, Gout finished fourth in his semi-final with a time of 20.36. Despite this result, Gout felt he executed his race plan well. He expressed no disappointment, instead using the experience to fuel his determination to succeed in future competitions.

As Gout continues to train and compete, the world will be watching to see if he can live up to the hype and become the next Usain Bolt. With his unwavering confidence and determination, it's clear that Gout is ready for the challenge.
