July 9 : Australian sprint sensation Gout Gout will miss next month’s World Under-20 Championships after suffering a left hamstring tear in training in Brisbane, the 18-year-old said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sprinter had been selected for Australia’s 200 metres and 4x400m relay teams for the championships in Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gout had opted to skip this month’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow to focus on the World Under-20 Championships, but the injury has cut short his season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m very disappointed but I have no other possibility but to accept the situation,” he posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I understand that this is part of athletics. My focus now will be on my rehab in the coming weeks and months and ensuring I come back in 2027 better and stronger and faster.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stamped his authority after he clocked a world under-20 record of 19.67 seconds in the 200m at the Australian Championships in Sydney in April, breaking his own national record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was unable to replicate that performance at last month’s Diamond League meeting, where he finished sixth in 20.60 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teenager also finished third in the rarely contested 150m at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic last month, clocking 14.96 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
