16-year-old Australian puts Indian athletes to shame

Gout Gout, who was born in 2007, has outdone India’s record holder by a mile. It is pertinent to point out that Anil Kumar was born in 1973, which means currently he is way out of competition. The youngest Indian on the list of top three with a speed of 10.30s is Gurvinder Singh who was born in 2000. The Australian teenager leaving behind the Indian sprinters by a mile is a stellar reminder of how far Indian athletes been left behind in the field.
