I would not have expected a guy named Gout Gout to be particularly fleet of foot but he we are!

MODERATORS
Sorry, you got beaten to that exact same joke earlier this month in this same community.
A while ago his dad came out and said the original South Sudanese name is actually Guot (pronounced gwot), and its spelling changed because of a transcription error when they fled to Egypt. But his manager said they're sticking with the name Gout. I don't think I've heard anything on the subject from the kid himself.

Really great to see a young Australian athlete.

What do you mean about the internet archive?
Ah, looks like it's back. It was down when I first posted this.
edit: actually, looks like it's still down. It let me create an archive of this page, but that archive gives a 503 when you try to view it.
FYI archive.today is no longer trustworthy
The DDoS thing seemed to have already stopped when I first heard the news last month. I certainly wouldn't rely on them for serious archival purposes, but as a quick and easy link to send people that will bypass paywalls I still haven't found a better alternative.
