'Iron sharpens iron': Training video profiles Gout Gout's bromance with Olympic champion Noah Lyles

It's brisk, it's bold, and it's a bromance.

Teen Australian sprint phenom Gout Gout and American megastar Noah Lyles, the reigning Olympic gold medallist in the 100-metre dash, are quickly becoming a dynamic duo.

"Iron sharpens iron," Lyles captioned a series of photos taken of the pair training together in Clermont, Florida in recent weeks.

Adidas, the shoe company that sponsors both Gout and Lyles, jumped in on the fun.

"The fast life chose them," Adidas wrote in the comments.

Gout, 18, is the Ipswich-born prodigy who in Sydney last month ran a 200m in 19.67 seconds to become the fastest teenager in global history. The fastest 200m Usain Bolt ran as a teenager was 19.93.

Gout's fame exploded when he clocked 20.04 at the national school titles in December 2024 to break the Australian 200m record set by Peter Norman at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

He's twice clocked 9.99 seconds in the 100m but in illegal wind conditions. His 100m personal best is 10 flat, run in Brisbane in February.

He has continued to be based in Ipswich under the guise of veteran coach Di Sheppard since finishing year 12 at Ipswich Grammar School in 2025, but has twice headed to Florida since the start of last year for training camps with Lyles.

Sheppard joined him on both trips, teaming up with Lyles' coach Lance Brauman.

Lyles has in recent days also posted a video reel on Instagram of he and Gout training together.

"Find your why," the Olympic and world champion said in the reel.

"Why are you running? Why do you want to be the best? What are you going to do once you become the best?"

Adidas lapped it up, commenting: "The game can't handle this combination."

Lyles gave Gout a rap in Tokyo at last year's world athletics championships, where the teen sensation made his senior Australian debut as a 17-year-old.

"He's more talented than I was!" Lyles beamed.

"He's an amazing kid, he's got a great head on him, he's got a great team around him."

Gout will next race over 200m at the Oslo Diamond League meet on June 11 (AEST).

On June 17 (AEST), Gout and Lyles will race against each other for the first time over 150m at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in Czechia.

Gout's major goal of 2026 is winning gold in the 200m at the world under-20 championships in Eugene, Oregon in August.

He's opted against competing at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games to focus on the world titles.

He was profiled by America's 60 Minutes in a piece that aired this week.
