After two false starts. Would've been a little quicker if he had his reaction time from the first two.
Yeah he got better starts on those 2, and the wind might have snuck under 2.0. Also could have had Kennedy to chase. 19.7s with a 1.5-2.0 was definitely possible if they got off first go.
I'd love to see this guy at USC or some USA school for three seasons at leat, he's running the 100, 200 and legs on both relays, love to see him in the NCAA,
Don't want to add him to that non NCAA list with.....
Houston McTear
Ryan Bailey
Maurice Greene
Noah Lyles
Kenny Bednarek
Erriyon Knighton
Great - train him in the US College system and run him into the ground.
He is super impressive and he has Australia captivated.
Genuinely becoming one of the biggest sports stars here - across all sports. Only comparison is Cathy Freeman and he is much more comfortable being a star than she ever was.
She was an amazing athlete, but never felt a natural personality. This guy loves the attention and is very engaging.
Watch him closely.
Meh. Knighton was the same way as a junior, and has been good, but nothing transcendent like Bolt.
You can’t put too much emphasis on junior performances. It doesn’t mean they are the next Bolt.
Lyles' splits were actually 10.07 and 9.24 in that race. I think Total Running Productions just made up 10.15 and 9.16 because it seemed realistic enough and then ran with it
Damn, I always thought TRP was the gold standard and go-to source for running news. Guess I was wrong.

“Gout is still a wisp of a thing. He’s the same height as Lyles (180 centimetres) but weighs 65 kilograms to the American’s 77. Templeton watched them train in Orlando and Gout’s body simply couldn’t do the same drills as a grown man’s. Yet.”
Will he ever get to run a legal time though? Every awesome performance seems to be ruined by too much wind (even slightly too much wind). Australia/NZ are just crappy places to race in the summer - always so windy. I mean obviously he can break 20 in the 200 with a legal wind but still as of today he hasn't which is crazy.
Bolt split 9.92/9.27 for his 19.19 WR. Yohan Blake and Noah Lyles went sub 9.20 for the second 100 on the PRs
This kid is special, I can't wait to see what he'll do in a Diamond League race
Yeah, the difference is that Bolt ran into a slight headwind vs. this +2,2m/s. Anyway, Gout's second half was insanely good considering how raw he is as an athlete.

Not so long ago it was my youtube "source", after several lies like the one above i stopped watching anything that came from this channel
What is giving bolt vibes appart from his skin color? He runs totally differently, both in style and splits repartition. No one said that Erryion Knighton was giving Bolt vibes despite him being taller and faster than Gout at the same age and having a race pattern similar to Bolt (flying in the bend, struggling in the last 50-30m)
