Gout Gout to make international debut with sights set on Tokyo world titles
Australian to race seniors in Europe for first time at Ostrava meet
Sprinter says main goal of season is September’s world championships
Gout Gout will take an important step on his athletics journey this week against a formidable field on his international senior debut in the Czech Republic, in race that only strengthens the parallels between him and sprint great Usain Bolt.
Returning to Ipswich Grammar after a historic Australian season, the 17-year-old has now travelled to Europe in the mid-year school break to compete in Ostrava and at the upcoming Diamond League meet in Monaco in a programme designed to prepare him for the Tokyo World Championships in September.
