Teen sprint sensation Gout Gout has flown home to finish third behind his training mate and new 150m world record holder Noah Lyles at the Golden Spike track and field meet in Ostrava.
Paris Olympics gold medallist Lyles clocked 14.67 seconds in the rarely-contested distance, smashing the previous previous mark of 14.92 set by Jamaica's Kishane Thompson earlier this year in Florida.
Second-placed South African Sinesipho Dambile (14.78) also dipped under Thompson's previous record, while the fast-finishing Gout was third in a national record of 14.96.
It was a huge improvement on Gout's Diamond League debut last week in Oslo, when the 18-year-old struggled out of the blocks and could only finish sixth in the 200m.
"This is definitely a race I was needing after Oslo, and I am glad I got it, and I am ready for more," told the Straight At It podcast.
