PRINT sensation Gout Gout is one of many talented Aussies with their eyes firmly on the prize as they chase glory at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Fresh off breaking the magical 10-second barrier for the 100m at a low-key school event in Queensland, the 17-year-old will make his long-awaited debut at a senior international event when he competes in his preferred 200m. Other rising stars chasing a coveted spot on the podium at the nine-day event include Claudia Hollingsworth, who broke the national 800m record, and middle-distance runner Cameron Myers.

He may be 17, but I think it’s possible for him to reach the 200m final in Tokyo, which would be an extraordinary achievement at his age – even Usain Bolt couldn’t do that.”
