A NEW WORLD RECORD!! || Divine Iheme Breaks 15 Year-Old World Record In 60 Meter Dash!

Agreed.........making expectations for kids that may or may not be peaking at these young ages is, well, not a good idea....however, it may be noteworthy, but to me, it's nothing to get excited about.

When looking at Gout Goit 60 metres time please remember that he has had very few opportunities to run indoors as there are very few facilities and very few races indoors in Australia. We are fortunate to have relatively nice weather with no snow and so outdoor running is the norm in Australia

[@dhbc1908]

Actually no indoor tracks at all in Australia, Gout's 60 m time would be in low key 'pre season' outdoor 60 metre events when other non standard distances such as 300m, 600, 1000m would be held.

[@gustaaf1892]

I've never heard of any indoor races in Oz and there is no reason for them because the Australian offseason/winter coincides with the Northern hemisphere' s outdoor season where Australians go to compete.

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

My prediction is that Usain Bolt's 100m WR will one day be the longest standing WR. Most world finals are 2 or 3 tens away and no-one has ever been within a tenth of his time. That record is stratospheric.

[@trefrancis4029]

That being broken this year

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

@ the probability of Bolt’s 100m WR to be beaten this year is less than 1%. No one is even in the conversation. On the other hand, the women 100m WR might get challenged.

[@TunesOfTheEarth]

​@trefrancis4029 stop smoking crack. No one is touching it for decades.

[@TunesOfTheEarth]

​@sylvainguinepain5624 the women's wr was hurricane aided by a +5-7.0 tailwind and should be stricken from the record books.

[@TunesOfTheEarth]

You are 100% correct. That'll be decades before the 9.58 is broken and will likely be the longest standing record in track and field. That's how out of reach his 100m record actually is.

[@wooddog7128]

[@KW-wr3xv]

​@robinsinpost you missed his point; a lot of guys are fast and whikr a lot of it is talent it's also because of maturity level. Their body is just physically matured ahead of peers their age making them much better in comparison.

Yep. Even Erriyon Knighton can't get any faster by popping trenbolone now. Some peak young and that's it. Show's over.

[@minichikimakubex]

Yeah, some develop before than others, some will never improve and some based on their lifestyle will become slower… ive seen this many times kids at 13 yo really fast then at 16 some of the team start to catch up and some even becoming better than them

[@davidhunternyc1]

Wow, what's fascinating too is Iheme's technique. It looks as if he's not picking up his legs nor creating enough torque to drive his body forward so swiftly. Divine indeed.

[@InfraLan]

In my opinion, his form looks like Tebogos

[@KhajanaMalik-Mulk]

@InfraLanI agree it looks just like tebogo’s running form it’s just that he runs with his torso slightly forward unlike tebogo who runs with torso more upright.

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

Yes I thought similar. It's a very hamstring dominant running style.

[@cronikvialo5463]

His stride is very similar to wayde van niekerk if we had to compare. He looks like he has extremely good running economy, i would definitely see him being better in the 400-800m, which is pretty funny considering he's racing 60m and 100m

[@KhajanaMalik-Mulk]

[@stevie586]

I’m gonna comment more, but just starting your video, I have to express how Gout-Gout looks very weak in his launch of the 100M at the beginning, but ran fast as fuq, showed beautiful mechanics with perfectly straight feet, knee drive, etc.! I’m thinking, he doesn’t even look nearly as STRONG as he will eventually become, and he’s running weak, with the mechanics of someone very strong. I am absolutely terrified to see Gout-Gout when he builds his muscles!!!

[@thegorn]

I know rite! Once the Goutster pumps that start, he will be UNTOUCHABLE!

[@trevorregay9283]

It could work against him......adding bulk may or may not slow him down......I think he will one day be an elite runner, but not so sure he will be a world champion...............

[@stevie586]

@ it is very true some folks are held back from too much muscle, however, he definitely needs more to meet his full potential. This stuff takes time; it doesn’t happen overnight and I’m not saying he is weak for his age, but just generally speaking. I definitely think he will be elite, but time will tell how he advances going forward. He has a wonderful platform, and being this fast with clearly only but so much power, he will become much faster if he packs on some more. Sprinting is a power to the ground sport, and he’s just friggin fast! Honestly, he looks tons like Bolt with his form…muscle will definitely benefit those mechanics.

[@brynmordey2659]

Yes us Brits are excited for his future

[@InfraLan]

Finally some coverage

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

You're talking as if they should cover all the 14-year olds. I think this is perfect timing. This kid is about two years away from making world championships semi-finals. Maybe he will be a finalist in the next Olympics if he continues to improve and if doesn't get hurt or get burned out.

[@Visionary0001]

This kid is the fastest 15-year-old, for sure, but he is NOT "the new fastest teenager in the world," as the video title suggests. In addition to Gout Gout and the other new stars, there are plenty of 19-year-old college Freshman athletes who can still beat this kid. They are still "teenagers", too. Remember that.

[@diamondsminer1239]

[@charlesblithfield6182]

His body composition could still change dramatically plus there’s the risk of injury for a kid pushed too much when not fully grown. My kid, an athlete, last year, grew inches at that age and gained 15kg. Finally there’s psychological aspects with pressures, like financial ones, that can really affect a child’s development. I hope they let him be a kid and play other sports too for a few years.

That's a huge maybe. Three humans in the history of planet Earth have ever gone sub-9.7. Two of them did it only once at the very peak of their careers and they each ran only 9.69. The other person to do it is Usain Bolt. Running below 9.7 is a nearly impossible task.

Let's just wait to see what the future unfolds for these youngsters.

[@audreydavis45]

@adu11 For your information I put no particular significance on fast times run by U20 athletes because that is not always a precursor of what will happen in the future. For example, Elaine Thompson-Herah could not even make one final at the annual Jamaica high schoolbl Boys and Girls Championships throughout her entire high school career but still went on to become a 2 x double Olympic sprint gold medalist while Shericka Jackson placed dead last in the 200M at the 2012 WU20 championships yet went on to win back to back gold medals at the last two World Championships. Incidentally, both Elaine and Shericka have also ran the fastest 100 and 200m in history, respectively, only bettered by the late Flo-Jo whose times we allbknow are shrouded in controversy.

Will be 3yrs this April since he ran his 10.04 (-0.1) PB, should be aiming to get it down to the low 9.9s/high 9.8s by the end of '25. Also, if by then he's still in the 19.7s for the 3rd yr in a row, might be time to follow Talitha Diggs out of Gainesville (same for Fahnbulleh who hasn't run sub 20s in over 2.5yrs) & go join her in Gary Evans's Training Group!

As someone from Great Britain, as much as I’d love for him to be a great talent who runs really well at a senior level (he obviously still could be!) from what I can see he simply looks like someone who’s body has matured way earlier than most. I just wonder where he can improve in his races. For someone like Gout, it’s obvious his start’s his weakness and if he improves that he’ll be one of the best in the world for sure, but for Divine his start’s probably better than Gout’s is NOW, let alone than when Gout was 14/15. Iheme’s top-end is good but not Gout-level so I fear over the next few years he might turn in to one of the guys who was labelled as ‘the next Bolt’ but then burns out as he approaches adulthood. Still a great talent and hopefully he keeps improving!

[@darrylb5247]
