Teenage sensation Gout Gout ran the 200 metres in 20.04 seconds at the Australian schools championships in Brisbane on Saturday to break the national record Peter Norman set at the 1968 Olympics.
The tall 16-year-old, who earned comparisons with Jamaican sprint great Usain Bolt after winning 200m silver at the world under-20 championships in August, won the race by a good margin at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre (QSAC).
