Good Good 👍😊
He needs to come and compete for the University of Texas at Austin. 🤘
@texaslonghorns bring him home 🤘
Laughable how he is being interviewed before breaking the record ….,,Usain bolt broke records by putting the effort behind the scenes not live on cameras.😂
Good luck to the young man!
Bolt always slows down close to the end
Its that Black Boy Magic 🙌🏾🏃🏾♂️💫
Gout Goat 🎉
He is an African. Respect to Africa.
It makes for an interesting story but Gout is too short to beat Bolts record imo, Bolt at 6'5 was able to cover too much ground
Needs to get him a better coach…
Bolt ran the first 100 harder intentionally so thats why Gout last 50 was quicker..
Gout has a weight to muscle ratio of a Porsche 911 turbo, he seems to bounce like he's floating when he's at top speed. There is no way the Usain Bolt record will stand when Gout reaches his peak, especially the 200m
As someone who’s suffering from Gout, this makes me proud.
It’s difficult enough to run with with one case of Gout, let alone two!
No fluidity in his running.
I think Gout Gout has a chance of taking the 100 record. It won’t be easy though and it may take a few years. I think males peak physically at around 25 maybe? Somewhere in there. Usain Bolt has the record at 9.58 seconds. So the stars would have to align. Gout would have to be peaking and he’d have to have the timing just right where he races in ideal conditions most likely. But Gout is a threat. I think I saw a video where it was guessed the fastest any human could possibly run the 100 was about 0.3 or 0.4 under Bolt’s record so it might stand for a long time — unless Gout Gout has a say about it. (It looks like Gout runs the 200 as well. I’ve seen him run the 100 and I think he’s maybe broken 10 already.)
At 1:28 your numbers are interesting. I’ll bet Gout Gout trails in the first 100 in the 200 behind Usain Bolt because Bolt was stronger. But Gout will probably add a bit of weight and strength and I’d guess he converges on Bolt’s first 100 over time. Gout Gout is 6’ 2” and maybe 155 pounds at 18 while Usain was 6’ 5” 200 in his prime, a few years older. It seems that Gout Gout is still a bit lean at 155.
Always some savior swoops in – the system is wild –
He should get a nickname , Gout is a terrible painful experience to have.
This is like the first non WEST African descended sprinter in decades…
So far, his coach has paced him right. If that can continue, he has a good shot at gold in the next Olympics, if not breaking Bolt's records. Burnout is always a risk, caused by doing too much at a tender age. Both Gout and his coach appear to be aware of this.
We will see when the Ninja get placed amongst the big boys in the diamond league
Bolt isn't worried about his WR…….trust me 19.19 won't ever be beaten especially his 100m of 9.58
wow I thought Usain Bolt was suffering from Gout
People have a better advantage chasing a record
Peptide injectables.
400m runner eventually, possibly the greatest.
Usainly Gout!
Yeah bruh this dude might actually have a chance to beat it.
How is it possible that there is a person who is fast as lightning, the fastest ever, and his name is Bolt, and the next champion after him, who might become the greatest of all time is called GOUT GOUT (Almost GOAT)
2:05 did he actually say its quiet EASY to see him breaking that bolt wr lol the lack of sprinting knowledge is easy to see
hippos are able to run fast despite their size due to their mouth circumference to waist ratio when you have a giant mouth you are able to inhale more oxygen per breath
