Australian track and field athlete Gout Gout is ruled out of the World Under-20 athletics championships in Oregon after sustaining a hamstring injury during training in Brisbane. Multiple outlets report that the injury involves an eight-centimetre hamstring tear. As a result, he will not compete at the event scheduled to take place in the USA next month. The injury occurs during his training period in Brisbane, and his condition means he cannot take part in the under-20 world titles. Coverage from ABC Australia and newspapers including the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age (Melbourne) and Brisbane Times all describe the same outcome: his under-20 world title campaign ends because of the hamstring problem sustained prior to the championships. The reports do not cite any expected return date or details beyond the injury size and the impact on participation, but they consistently state that he is not going to the championships.
