MELBOURNE - Australian schoolboy sprinter Gout Gout can become one of the top track athletes in history but should not be rushed into competing with "hungry" senior rivals, Olympic 200 metres champion Letsile Tebogo said.
The 17-year-old has earned comparisons with athletic legend Usain Bolt after eye-catching runs over the past year, including a wind-assisted 19.98 seconds in the 200m at the Queensland state championships in March.
Gout will run the 200m again at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on March 29, but there will be no showdown with Botswana's Olympic champion as Tebogo eases into the season with a run in the 400m.
Tebogo is nonetheless interested to see how Gout performs in the open category after his dominance in junior events.
