Schoolboy SPENSATION JUCK YEG REQUIRED THE HYPE in a successful debut on the World Athletics Championships, which broke down the second round of the 200m.
The 17-year-old made a slow start in his heat on Wednesday evening, but found his rhythm in the directly to finish third in 20.23 seconds.
It was a mission for Queenslander gout, with the top three of each heat that automatically went to the semi -final on Thursday.

Jamaican Bryan Levell won Jout’s Heat in the fastest general qualification time of 19.84, while Big Guns Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek and reigning Olympic Letsile Tebogo from Botswana also easily came through.

‘Go out and do my thing’

“I just felt that in my heat everyone was not against me, apart from the top two,” said Jout after the race.
“So I just hit Cruise Control, in the last 50, last 30. That’s what I needed.”

Jout, who makes his senior international debut in Tokyo this week, said that there would be “clear” expectations when he competed.

“So it’s what it is and I just go outside and do my thing.”

High on the agenda for gout and his coach di Sheppard in the next 24 hours will do some work on his start. “The starts are clearly not my strong suit, but as soon as I am running, I am chilling,” he said.
“It’s great to compete here on the world stage,” said Jout, whose junior exploits have already made comparisons with the legendary Usain Bolt, who looked from the stands.
“I am just happy, happy to be here and can’t wait for the semi.
“It’s a great experience, running against the big dogs, and I’m just excited for more.”
Jicht is the youngest man in the 200m field in Tokyo and the youngest man ever selected in an Australian team on a World Athletics Championships.
He established the Australian record of 20.02 earlier this year and has every chance to dive under the barrier of 20 seconds later in the championships in Tokyo.

Australians Calab Law and Aidan Murphy were eliminated.

Torrie Lewis (22.56) discovered 0.13 of her personal record and finished second in the last of six women’s 200m heats to flock in the semi -final on Thursday.
Earlier in the championships, 20-year-old Queenslander broke her own Australian 100m record with a time of 11.08 in the opening round, but was bitter disappointed when he was eliminated in the semi-final.
Landvrouwen Mia Gross and Kristie Edwards had sustained in the 200m heats for ladies.
Anavia Battle was at the top of the qualification sheets with 22.07 for fellow American and 100m gold medal winner Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (22.24), who pursues the sprint doubles in Tokyo.

The Australian Connor Murphy (16.58m) was 16th general in the qualification for Triple Spring for Men, with only the top 14 progress.

What kind of gout now?

The 200m semifinal is Aest on Thursday at 10.02 pm. He will probably have to dive under the barrier of 20 seconds-I-I-Like which has not done Australian earlier as he continues to Friday’s final.
If he makes it completely, you will be in the late night: that will take place on Friday at 11.06 pm.

The favorite is lyles from the US, and for a good reason: he has all won the last titles of the world championship in the event.

Gout said that after Tokyo he will take a short break from the competition to return to Australia for final exams at school.
Despite the demands of his athletics training, the Sprinter is known as a very accomplished student with high grades and an interest in studying psychology.
Each session of the nine -day event is broadcast live and free in SBS Viceland, including the World Athletics Championships 2025 Hub Via SBS On Demand, which also contains complete repetitions, mini -entertainment and Aussie Focus clips for each session.
Morning sessions run from 8 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. Aest on 13-15 and 20-21 September, while the evening sessions are every evening of the championships from 8 p.m. to 11.30 p.m.
