Gout Gout, Letsile Tebogo, and Grant Holloway

“That’s a good one. Probably Grant (Paris Olympics 110mH champion) or Noah (Lyles, Paris Olympics 100m champion),” said the Australian teen sensation. To which Tebogo replied: “I’ll go with Grant. Because he’s loud and he keeps people jovial around him, so he has to be the coolest.”
Tebogo, who defeated Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles to win the Olympic 200m gold in Paris will be one of the biggest names to grace the Melbourne meet and is scheduled to race in the 400m.
While Gout will aim to steal the show in the Peter Norman Memorial 200m – a race honouring the Olympic icon whose 56-year Australian record the rising star broke with his 20.04s run at just 16 years old.
