In 2007, in which the iPhone was invented, it seems a course indicated by talent. Lamine Yamal was born and also Gout Gout, two athletes who by themselves seem to mark a dynasty. They are the banners of a fascinating promotion, in which the star of Barcelona and the Spanish team does not need a presentation in society. These can be their partner on the sport catwalk in the coming years.
The Australian who remembers Usain Bolt
At the end of 2024, the Olympic course, the athletics sector especially repaired an Australian boy, who had not yet turned 17 – did the last day of the year – and that runs very quickly. The enthusiasm created around Gout Gout since he was 14 years old was endorsed when he beat in December the 200 -meter national record that Peter Norman had maintained for 56 years, a legend of Australian athletics. He ran on 20.04, an improper mark of his age.
One of the seven children of two Emigrants from South Sudan, land of marathoners and fondistas not of sprinters who abandoned the family towards Egypt by war until it ends in Queensland, surprises especially by the length of its stride, very close to which which He had Bolt: 42 by 41 of the Jamaican. In the 100 meters it has already been dropped from 10 seconds (10.04 with irregular wind), with a technique that has had to polish almost from zero coach Diane Sheppard, who took a uncoordinate young man to turn him into the most interesting sprinter of The next few years. “He told me that I could achieve something big and was the first person who told me in my life.”
Guided by James Templeton, Rudisha’s manager, will be presented at the Great World Society at the World Cups in September running only 200 meters. “I know there is much more to come,” says Templeton. “We are sure that this boy will be faster and faster in the coming years. We can barely stop it. ”

“It impresses the ease with which it makes those times,” says Antonio Sánchez, the sports director of La RFEA .. “It’s like Bolt. It seems that it is not moving at that speed, but then it is the brand … it is still an athlete to do. That it is not orthodox in the movements obeys a muscle decompensation because it has not just developed, it is heartbreaking. That’s why I wouldn’t touch anything about him. Many times the coaches insist on something and we can harm it. ”
The teenager of all records
Just as tennis consecrated a Big Three, the world female swimming half -swimming has matched three supreme swimmers in time: Katie Ledecky, Ariarne Titmus and Summer Mcintosh. With 18 years he is already three times Olympic champion in 200 butterfly and 200 and 400 styles. Canadian, had already surprised the planet three years ago when before the 15th he competed in the Tokyo games where he was fourth in the 400 meters free style test. There is a terrifying fact: newly released most age adds 11 golds between Olympic and World Pool and Outdoor Games.
His definitive consecration, although it was already endorsed by medals in the big appointments, occurred in 2023 when he beat Ledecky in the 200 free of the Pro Swim Series at the beginning of 2023. It was the first defeat that fit the best swimmer in history in nine years. It amounted to all the headlines of the planet, which reflected a milestone one month later: their first world record when in March 2023 beat the free 400 record and, almost continuously, the 400 styles. He was 16 years old and had already achieved what no one had achieved before. Possess both plusmarks.
Without the height of other swimmers such as Ledecky and Walsh, as it measures 1.73, McIntosh has always reaped amazing results. Aün holds nine world junior records between both pools. The secret, they say, is how methodical it is. In training and breaks. Also an outstanding technique and a sensitive improvement in turns, their nemesis in the beginning.

In the country that had already lit a champion like Yuka Saso, winner of two majors.

It has incredible values. My mother spent a cancer this season and he called him Mondays after the race to know how he was. When you are talent, work and these values are special things. He is in continuous learning and always thinks of improving. ”
Cooper Flagg, the star that arrives
He has just completed the 18, in December, and so many Terabytes have already been poured on his skill as happened to the first versions of Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.

His presence in the Olympic appointment was surgical. Specialist in the equilibrium bar and also in asymmetric, it was summoned with the aim of acting as a wild card in case of failure of the contrasted. It was not even necessary in Lasor Final, although a gold was hung that projects a formidable future.
