Men’s 200m: The talk on everyone’s lips today is Gout Gout, the Australian wonder-kid who has emerged as sprinting’s best young talent.

His heat today pits him against five semi-final contenders aged 23 or under, including three that have run quicker than him. The teenager must match or beat his fastest 200m times to make sure his World Athletics Championships debut lasts more than just today’s heats.
