With a kid in Little Athletics, I’ve taken an interest in junior track and field this year. I’ve been following Gout’s antics for about six months, now.
At 16 (almost 17), He just ran the fastest 200m time by an Australian sprinter, ever.
For the record, he also ran a 100m in 10.04 this year.
Damn, you’re right. I’m not a runner but now that you pointed it out, even I can see his start needs work! He’s gotta be losing a lot of energy wobbling like that…but once he gets moving, holy shit is he fast
Yeah I am a runner, though more of a distance fan than sprinting. Still, it was noticeable that his style seemed awkward at the start. But even without that, what is very clear is how far behind the others he is at the start, especially considering how far ahead he is even by the finish line of the 100 m (let alone 200 m).
