Anyone else following this kid?

Could be our best chance at a track and field gold at the next two olympics.

Faster the Bolt.

Great talent. I'm noticing a few coming up in that generation.

I'm already worried. At 16, he needs a steady hand. Didn't like some of his post win celebrations. Be humble, young man.

From Australia's premium papers today, SMH and The AGE
His real name is Guot Guot, his name got misspelt during immigration. It is actually pronounced gwot gwot.
Time to fix.

My name was originally James Cook until I started winning medals and had to change it.

At least some good / positive news from the Australian Sudanese community.

Yeah, don't get too much. Especially in Melbs.

Hopefully he provides some inspiration for fellow Sth Sudanese to turn their natural abilities into something positive instead of home invasions, etc. Might take a couple of generations to sort itself out.

Still not impressed with his post run celebrations of himself.

I believe that it is in his make-up, showmanship/bravado etc. Just look at that other extremist world class runner Usane Bolt, never missed a moment for self promotion.
If you have the goods then flaunt it!!!!

Yeah, maybe. But, he could be a little bit cooler. He'll still get a millions dollar Nike sponsorship by just being the fastest.

Would you prefer a Joker or Federer? Federer is the better athlete because he was humble and didn't rip his shirt off when he won.

@Sean K Federer is the very best of the best because he knows how to be humble, and he also likes WA and Rottnest.
