thewest.com.auHere’s a quick update on the two topics you asked about:
- Gout Gout (gout) latest news: A surge of recent reports in early 2025–2026 highlighted Gout Gout’s progress as a young Australian sprinter, including sub-10-second attempts (often wind-assisted) and continued wins at junior levels. Some sources note legal sub-10 attempts remain to be achieved, while others report official times around 10.0–10.2 seconds in junior competitions.[1][4][5][8]
- 100m times (latest): The most widely cited recent results show hand-timed sub-10-second efforts (e.g., 9.94–9.99) in controlled settings with conditions that may not count as official records due to wind or timing methods, and legal comps hover around 10.0–10.2 seconds in junior or national events.[2][3][6][8]
If you’d like, I can gather the most current official timing data and summarize which performances are legal records versus wind-assisted, and provide a short list of the latest credible sources with direct links.
