Gout compared to Olympic great Usain Bolt

Gout has been compared to the greatest sprinter of all time, eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt.

It is not easy for a 16-year-old to have that pressure, but equally it speaks of just how highly held he is in the eyes of the athletics world.

Speaking about the comparisons in April, Gout said (as per Fox Sports), “It’s pretty cool because Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest athlete of all time and just being compared to him is a great feeling. Obviously I’m Gout Gout so I’m trying make a name for myself. If I can get to the level he was that would be a great achievement.”

The teenager will be 20-years-old by the time the next Olympic Games come round at LA 2028, and though it is still early days in Gout’s career, he will surely have his eyes focused on the States.

Even better, the following Olympiad takes place in his home state of Queensland, Brisbane 2032, by which time he will have plenty more experience under his belt.

The future is certainly bright for Gout Gout, a name you will no doubt hear again.
