Usain Bolt (Jamaica)'s all-time talent has emerged to break the milestone. Supernova Gut Gut (18, Australia), a track and field sprint event, caught the attention of the world, surpassing Bolt's 18-year-old record.

Multiple media outlets, including British media 'Guardian' and 'BBC', highlighted on the 13th (Korea time) that "Gut Gut won the men's 200m at the Australian Championships in Sydney with a phenomenal record of 19.67 seconds."

It is already a proven talent since childhood. Born to parents from South Sudan, Gut Gut shook the athletics world in 2024, setting an all-time record of 16.

It's a brilliant development. The record is a significant break from Gut Gut's previous record of 20 seconds 02. It is even the first official record in Australian track and field history to break the 20-second wall without the help of the wind.

The leader was also surprised. According to the 'BBC', coach Dee Shepherd, who coaches Gut Gut, praised, "I can't tell how far the limit of talent is."

Even Gut Gut himself said after the game, "I set the goal of 19.75 seconds in my head. However, 19 seconds and 67 came out, he said. "Now that I'm 18 years old, I'm sure I can get faster. I'm ready to show more," he said, expressing confidence to break the record.

Gut Gut went on to say, "There are a lot of great players in Australia. "By pushing each other to the limit, we achieved our goal of breaking through the official 20-second wall," he said. "Now I feel like I've put my shoulder down."

In particular, Gut Gut showed faster growth than Bolt, drawing more attention. According to the BBC, 19.67 seconds was 0.26 seconds faster than the junior world record of 19.93 seconds set by Olympic gold medalist Bolt at the age of 17 in 2004. Gut Gut Gut's growth is unrivaled considering that Bolt was unable to shorten this record further in his teenage years. In addition, he even surpassed former junior world record holder Aaron Knighton's 19.69 seconds, becoming the fastest official record among players under the age of 20.

Now Gut Gut will face world-class track and field athletes. At the Golden Spike Competition in Austria in June, he will compete in the 150m event and meet Olympic champion Noah Lyles of the United States. Gut Gut said, "I will never be complacent. I'm just a person who goes out on the track alone. I don't feel any pressure," he said.
