Gout Gout and his entourage have never claimed to be the next Usain Bolt. He has a down to earth coach Di Shepherd who is developing him well. Gout has talked about continuously improving his times, that is all !
Gout did his 100m record with 41 strides. So yeah, there’s hype about this young man and OBJECTIVE, mechanical reasons he is being likened to a young Bolt. This kid hits phenomenal top end speed and looks like he is floating. You’re cynical, maybe even bitter, and that’s fine, us Aussies are probably getting ahead of ourselves and that’s fine too. The kid not only has raw talent, he has an outstanding work ethic so yeah, I’d say there’s plenty to look forward with this young sprinter.
I'm an Aussie living in Sydney. Gout gout is all everyone is talking about... Australia has never had anyone ever, that's even made it to the 8:59 100m Olympic final. He will be the biggest name in Australian sport over the next 10=15 years ....he was born in Queensland and it just sp happens, 2032 Olympics is in Queensland .he will be in his absolute prime then. Its gonna be massive for this country. Just like Cathy freeman in Sydney 2000. I can't wait to watch every step of his career.
I think there is something that just looks remarkable about Gout Gout's style. He just looks qualitatively different running. I think that is part of the excitement, which is sort of untangible.
Agree - he looks more effortless. All other athletes look to be pushing and straining whereas Gout seems to be flying effortlessly. I hope a good coach can injury proof his technique and improve his start.
It’s his stride rate. 41 strides over 100m. That’s why it looks like he is flying, like Bolt did. That’s why there’s so much excitement about this kid, he literally runs like Bolt and would appear to have a comparable top end speed. The only questions are work ethic (which I hear is solid) and injury. But yeah, I think people have every reason to be VERY excited about Gout. Especially us Aussies 😂
Gout Gout is yhe real deal. The difference between him and other hyped youngsters is that his potential is clear as day. The kid is a freak of nature yet his room for improvement is very visible and that's what makes it so exciting. He reminds of athletes like Sydney McLaughlin, Bolt, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, GGG, Mayweather etc. pure raw specimens where the sky's the limit!
Coach you have it all wrong...Us casual watchers just want excitement and a person to cheer for..We do not CARE about a meal ticket..we just want excitement sir .We are casual
@@hemulinkulli In this case he means someone like Husain Bolt who everyone else, from other sprinters to sponsors, sports administrators, media, etc. could make money off of due to their star power.
I think it just makes his times more impressive. There's less incentive to run fast, to push hard right through to the finish line, when you're not being challenged for the win.
I see we're doubling down on this after the mini backlash in the comments in the previous video, c'mon man let ppl esp Australians have this looking ahead to Brisbane '32 :) It's not just about a 'meal ticket', fans around the world want someone who's both extremely talented but also very likeable they can root for like the world took to Tebogo this yr & Guot Guot fits that mould!
Boy did he double down and not listen to anything said in the comments last time. I'm starting to think Americans only believe America can produce child phenoms in the sport and they're mad at us uppity Australians for thinking we can compete with them. All the comments about Gout only racing against his peers and only in Australia as if nothing achieved outside American soil counts. The strangest thing to me is when they belittle Gout for breaking Peter Norman's Australian NR as if none of them remember the historic significance of the 200m final at the Mexico City Olympics where the record was set. It's their sporting history too! Or are Australians the only ones who remember that historic podium when Peter Norman supported Tommie Smith and John Carlos's in standing for racial equality?
I think the comparisons are stronger this time around for gout gout because of his sprinting style. Taller and lean resembles bolt a touch. The other athletes, christian miller, sani brown kiryu etc they are not in any way resembling bolt. Gouts gait seems the closest to bolt and the ceiling is really high for gout gout because he is so tall, can take fewer strides and ultimately I believe his gate has the strongest potential due to stride length - just like bolts top end was un matched. Gout shows similar pulling away abilities. With the other athletes compared to bolt I don't see much improvement possible for them watching back, because of their stature and ethnicity (in reference to the japanese athletes respectfully). So, the gout comparisons being so strong I think has more to do with the potential of his gait, personality, pulling away abilities etc.. Whereas the other runners don't seen to have too much potential for their gait and it doesn't really make sense to call them the next bolt. I think also modern news outlets want to bring the casual fan back into track so the easiest way to do that is to compare to bolt. In an attempt to report on athletics and make it meaningful, this is the only way the casual fan stands up and listens. Anyway, these are my thoughts, love your video and just looking at the stats you are right. These comparisons don't make much sense. But I think because of the other similarities present makes this comparison a little different. But you can be young and running good times until you just aren't. You only get to run REALLY fast for a couple years (most of the time)
Coach Rob on point with the data... AGAIN!! However Bolt DID run 19.93 before his 18th birthday. Usain's 20.13 was done at the age of sixteen; I needed to fill that in.
Excellent analysis again Coach Rob! While Gout Gout is of great talent, only time will tell how he develops. The media is known to build you up to later tear you down.. so I don’t look at all the hype.. Allow this young man to develop without all the pressure.. wishing him the very best in his athletic career..
If you are suggesting Tebogo is an amazing world level athlete, I totally agree. He just doesn’t have any top 5 all time performances before turning 18. Which is why he was never mentioned on this video.
@@qbassie9764 they do have sense and know more about track than we ever will. But you keep on projecting some negativity, hope that works out well for you
Gout has the bolt top speed and stride length already, that would be the main difference, and he has the charisma of bolt too good for eyes and sponsors, he just needs to work on the starts now to get the times down, he is more of a 200m runner atm because of that.
Does Gout Gout have a good start in his races? Usain Bolt wasn’t the best starter when young, but after training to improve this he brought his times down.
Its not abt times but more so their build, sprinting form & greatest strengths with gouts being his top end speed & speed endurance capacity. Those 2 assets are the recipe for a dominant sprinter. Example being tebogo & lyles being the 2 best sprinters & having those 2 assets
the difference is that all these other guys were fast for their ages but gout gout is the fastest of all time for his. from memory his next race is in march next year and i think we can expect a sub 20 second clocking from him at that meet.
I think all of us can agree Gout acceleration was not that outstanding but the top end speed in the 2nd half of the race was outstanding. I like his legs action, but the arm swing can be better.
I like your videos in spite of the clickbait titles, but this would have hit harder if you hadn't released a video titled "NOBODY knew THIS was even possible?! || These HS kids just INVADED the Olympic Trials!" a few months back where you extolled a bunch of high school age American athletes. I suggest everyone go and rewatch that video because you do the opposite in it, talking about how Bolt was a phenom before he was a champion at senior level. So which side of the fence are you on exactly? Is it only ok to be a HS phenom and get compared to Bolt if you're American? Anyway, who cares if GG is the next Usain Bolt or not? He has captured the world's attention as Gout Gout so give him credit for making people who have no interest in T&F get excited for our sport.
Thank you for your comment as well as your perspective. I don’t believe the tone of that video was to compare the American athletes to Bolt in any way. However, I understand your concern about the framing from a title. To clarify, if you are going to be a major player on the world stage, you normally will stand out as a junior athlete. But to become the level of greatness that Bolt did appears to be near impossible for anyone to dream of achieving. If anything what I am saying is there are many talented young athletes who will be competing with each other to win anything going forward. However Gout Gout is one to watch, perhaps even near the top of that list. And thank you for continuing to watch in spite of any disagreements with the “marketing” of a video
Meal ticket wise Tebogo might be the next bolt lol cause as a content creator I can say I've made a few thousand off of him. Gout Gout only a few hundred. It's one thing to run fast against little white kids in Australia but it's another to run fast and go beat the actual best in the world.... If things continue at this rate the media will destroy gout gout
Interesting how everyone on the other side of the planet has an opinion after watching a video and dont even know the kid.. you havent spoken about his 400m times yet..
And they talk as if he started running fast times this year because they only know him from U20 WC in Lima whereas Australians have been watching him and aware of his potential since he was 14.
Come on, they’re not going to burn him out on the 400m yet. At this stage pf his career he’ll be concentrating on the 100m and 200m. I can’t imagine him attempting the 400m for at least another 5yrs.
Top speed is the number 1 thing you need first, the times at his age don't matter as much because there is plenty he can grow on, if the top speed isn't there there will be a plateau.
You are indeed virtually the only voice of reason. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. For example, Elaine Thompson-Herah was virtually invisible at the Jamaican high school championships, achieving absolutely nothing. In fact, she never even made it to a single finals, yet look at what she went on to achieve in her career - the only woman in history to have ever won the sprint double at two consecutive Olympic games as well as recording the second fastest 100M time in history (10.54) (only Flo-jo has ever gone faster, and her time has been clouded in controversy ever since).
At 16yrs old, he's literally faster than Oblique Seville 20.17 (+1.9) PB in the 200m! Only 2 JAM Men have broken 20s since Bolt in Andrew Hudson (19.87) who transferred from the US & Bryan Levell (19.97).

His form is very developed, so little upside is obvious.
@@StGCfiLife His start needs a lot of work, hence he is more dominant in the 200. Plenty of upside.

Yup he isn’t aware how much og is are literally just casuals
What's meal ticket!?
@@hemulinkulli ticket for your meal in this case a gravy train
@@hemulinkulli In this case he means someone like Husain Bolt who everyone else, from other sprinters to sponsors, sports administrators, media, etc. could make money off of due to their star power.
He wasn't talking about fans. He was talking about the whole elite sprinting ecosystem at large.
Pretty soon his name will be GOAT GOAT !!!!
The point you made that is valid is about Gout's competition. It does make it seem like he is faster than the other fast guys you mentioned.
I think it just makes his times more impressive. There's less incentive to run fast, to push hard right through to the finish line, when you're not being challenged for the win.

Compare Bolts poor form as a teen vs the finished senior athlete. Gout has very good form already, so less upside.
@@StGCfiLife completely agree. Way less ways to improve his times because form is already beautiful
what about erriyon knighton? did he just peak early or what?
@@StGCfiLife i think gout still has a lot of room for physical growth though, he seems like a late bloomer so... his starts aren't the best either
