Teenage sprinting sensation Gout Gout continued his record-breaking streak on Tuesday when he surpassed his own 200m Australian national mark.

The 17-year-old finished first with a time of 20.02 seconds – shaving two hundredths of a second off the previous record he broke in December last year – at the Golden Spike meeting in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Gout entered the straight slightly behind Cuba’s Reynier Mena but produced a remarkable burst as the pair approached the finish line to get himself ahead.

In what was Gout’s first senior race abroad, he finished 0.17 seconds ahead of Mena while Great Britain’s Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake (20.60) came in third.

“I feel good. New personal best, new national record in my first European race,” Gout told reporters afterwards, per Reuters.
