[WATCH]-Australian teen challenges Noah Lyles & Kishane Thompson with stunning 100m dash

Australian-born Sudanese youngster Gout Gout is fast becoming a sensation in the world of sprinting after a video from a school athletics meet showcased him running 100 meters in a jaw-dropping 10.2 seconds.

The teenager's feat has already sparked conversations around the globe, drawing comparisons with prominent figures like Noah Lyles, Kishane Thompson, and Ferdinard Omanyala.

At just 16, Gout has already made significant strides in his athletic career merging as a force to be reckoned with.

His journey began at Ipswich Grammar School where he first made waves at the inter-house carnival.

Under the guidance of his coach  Diane Sheppard who provided Gout with his first pair of spikes his talent swiftly evolved. “

"It feels good! It is definitely one of the best feelings,” Gout reflected in a past interview as Athletics Australia.

In 2022, Gout set a record, becoming the fastest Australian U16 boy in history when he dashed across the 100m finish line in 10.57 seconds.

He continued to grow and the following year he shattered another barrier by completing the 200m in 20.87 seconds at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Brisbane.

The video from the recent school event, which surfaced online on Friday showcases Gout's incredible speed and technique.

His time of 10.2 seconds not only outshines his peers but also compares favorably with the times of seasoned athletes, including Ferdinard Omanyala's 10.8 seconds at the 2024 Paris Olympics semifinals, where Omanyala was eliminated.

“The raw prospect is unsure of how high his ceiling sits and will let his natural development take its course, but only one thing is certain: 'I can go faster. There is always pressure but I am just running,'” Gout added.

Despite the mounting pressure and increased attention Gout remains focused on his own growth and performance showing a maturity beyond his years in handling the newfound fame.
