- 17-year-old runs 9.99s with illegal tailwind of 3.5m/s in heat
- Sprint sensation to run U20 final later on Thursday in Perth
Sprinter Gout Gout has broken the 10-second barrier in the 100m for the first time, but his 9.99s won’t be officially recorded in the record books due to an illegal tailwind of 3.5m/s.
The 17-year-old set the time in the heats of the under-20 100m at the national athletics titles in Perth on Thursday afternoon, and he is due to run the final later on Thursday evening.
