Australian teen sensation Gout Gout (below) said that his debut world championships had made him hungry for more after bowing out in the 200m semifinals yesterday.

The 17-year-old has been compared to Usain Bolt for his prodigious ability but it was not enough to take him into the final in Tokyo as he finished fourth in his race in 20.36sec.

Gout will now head home to Australia to sit his high school exams but vowed to return to athletics’ big stage, telling reporters that the experience was “fuel to my fire”.

“It definitely makes you hungry for sure, knowing that I'm just a kid right now but I can still compete,” he said.

“The thing I have on them (his rivals) is I've got time -- they may not have 15 years but I've got 15 years for sure.
