Gout Gout set a new personal best on his first senior race
Teenager Gout Gout set a new personal best and an Australian record with victory in the men's 200m on his senior international debut at the Golden Spike meeting in Ostrava.
The 17-year-old clocked 20.02 seconds in a highly anticipated first European meeting in the Czech Republic.
The sprinter powered past Portuguese-based Cuban Reynier Mena, who had to settle for second after winning the last two Diamond League 200m races.
Gout's time was better than Jamaica's world record holder and eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt, who finished in 20.28 on his first Golden Spike meet in 2006.
