Gout Gout channels Bolt, horses and butterflies ahead of semi-final test
The Australian teenager faces a struggle to reach the final after being drawn against five sub-20 second sprinters
An unenviable draw and his struggle to get out of the blocks will almost certainly end the debut of Gout Gout at the world championships in his semi-final on Thursday, but the teenager remains upbeat about his prospects having survived his first major international test.
The Australian overcame a ponderous first 30m to finish third in his heat in 20.23sec, the 12th fastest time across all qualifiers for the semis.
