Australian teen star Gout Gout and Letsile Tebogo came to an agreement on a special attribute of Grant Holloway's personality. Botswana's track icon Letsile Tebogo and rising sprint sensation Gout Gout set their healthy rivalry aside to agree on one thing about highly respected Olympic champion Grant Holloway. Ahead of the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne, Australia, the sprint stars sat together for a Q&A content with World Athletics, shared on the governing body's social media platforms. When asked who was the coolest athlete they've met, Tebogo and Gout agreed on one name. "That's a good one. Probably Grant (Paris Olympics 110mH champion) or Noah (Lyles, Paris Olympics 100m champion)," said the Australian teen sensation. To which Tebogo replied: "I'll go with Grant. Because he's loud and he keeps people jovial around him, so he has to be the coolest." Tebogo, who defeated Kenny Bednarek and Noah Lyles to win the Olympic 200m gold in Paris will be one of the biggest names to grace the Melbourne meet and is scheduled to race in the 400m. While Gout will aim to steal the show in the Peter Norman Memorial 200m – a race honouring the Olympic icon whose 56-year Australian record the rising star broke with his 20.04s run at just 16 years old. Having clocked a Season's Best (SB) performance of 20.06s and wind-aided 19.96s two weeks ago, the teen star dubbed the next Usain Bolt will be gunning to go under the sub-20s mark legally in Melbourne.
