Gout Gout Out of World U20 with Hamstring Injury

Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout has withdrawn from the 2026 World Athletics U20 Championships due to a hamstring injury suffered during training in Brisbane.

The 18-year-old Australian had been targeting the 200m under-20 world title in August but will now miss the rest of the season. In a social media post, Gout vowed to return in 2027 'better and faster and stronger' after recovering from the muscle tear. mwafrika.life
