Gout Springs Relay Surprise as U20 World Champs Team Named

Gout is part of a 75-strong team of Australian athletes.

In short:

Gout will run the 200m and the 4x400m relay at the world under-20 championships.

Gout will not run the 100m despite winning the event at the national junior championships.

What's next?

The World Athletics U20 Championships start on August 5.

Gout will double up in the 200m and 4x400m relay as part of a record 75-strong Australian team.

Gout, 18, has elected to prioritise the world juniors over the Commonwealth Games.

Gout is the U20 world record holder in the 200m.

The meet will take place at historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.

Gout said, 'I'm really excited to get out there at World Athletics Under 20s.'

Gout feels confident he'll be ready to step up and make Australia proud.

Gout will compete in the 200m and the 4x400m.

Gout's announcement comes a week after Australia's men's team won an historic bronze in the 4x400m.

Gout will not run the 100m despite winning the event for the second straight year.

The large under-20s squad includes high jumper Izobelle Louison-Roe.

Isaac Beacroft will back up from the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Isaac has high expectations of himself in both races.

Australia won a record 15 medals two years ago.
