Schoolboy sensation Gout Gout has kept his cool on his first serious outing against the sprinting big dogs, easing into the semi-finals of the men's 200m at the world championships.
The 17-year-old made a slowish start in his heat on Wednesday night but found his rhythm in the straight to finish third in 20.23 seconds.
Gout will probably need to dip under the 20-second barrier - something no Australian has done before - if he's to advance to Friday's final.
