- It’s going to get lost in the Gout Gout Hype (which is so valid) but sprinting was on fire yesterday… 16 YO Thewbelle Philp has one of the most electric starts in sprinting, and capitalised to become the #3 Aussie u/18 all time… the two ahead of her? 11.20 - Raelene Boyle
00:00 - As someone who’s watched Gout Gout up close a lot now, this phase from 50-150 is only getting better. His start was faster, his launch into the turn was clean - this is electric to watch… A new Aus record on his European debut, can’t wait for what’s in store over the coming
00:00 - Sprinting is quite simply getting outta hand here in Australia… Terrell Thorne woke up this morning and decided today was as good a day as any to drop a 45.6 National u/18 record. This kid was a world junior finalist this year, holy hell.
- Noah Lyles mum has weighed in and showed support for Aussie 1500m runner Olli Hoare 🇫🇷💛💚
- If you loved 16 year old Gout Gout’s heat win, just take a look at his semi final domination to book himself a spot in the world junior final 🇦🇺🇦🇺
00:00 - 16-year-old Gout Gout WORLD JUNIOR SILVER MEDALIST… Have a watch of his final, particularly his final 50m 😳 20.60, 16 years old.
00:00 - SUB 20 GOUT GOUT 🔥🔥🔥 19.98 (+3.6) won’t count for the record books, but SUB. 20. GOUT OF THIS WORLLLLLLLD
00:00 - This is absolutely amazing. 10.04 for GOUT GOUT (+3.4) in the heats of the junior nationals 👀 4th fastest ever all conditions in Australian history. Final in 1.5 hours A pleasure to call this one
00:00 - One of my favourite shots from Jacob this week of athletics… Respecting the game 👌🏽
- You get such few lucky moments in the booth to be apart of a special moment, this is my first ay. Gout. of. This. World 20.04 in Queensland to eclipse the 56 year old incredible feat of Peter Norman back in Mexico City, 1968 🇲🇽 An absolute honour to be etched with this
00:00 - And ONE MORE junior Australian sprinting star, Jess Milat 🇦🇺 Watch this race, watch the bend work of the young Australian who now booked her spot as one to watch in the world junior 200m final along side country women, Torrie lewis. Never in Australian history have we had two
00:00 - He may love and represent Sweden 🇸🇪 But mondo still got that US of A in him 🇺🇸 (Picture taken during national anthem of the men’s 100m ceremony)
- 11.14 At age 17 😮💨 that’s the state of women’s sprinting right now in Australia… Leah O’Brien has taken down Raelene Boyles 1968 Under 18 record in emphatic style, and moves to #=4th all time along side Sally Pearson in Australian history Top #15 in global history for an U/18
