Gout Gout: Rising star makes big boy £4.4 million purchase following lucrative sponsorship deal
Teen star Gout Gout purchased a lifelong dream reportedly worth £4.4 million after striking a lucrative sponsorship deal.
After the race, Lyles showed the spirit of sportsmanship by congratulating him, but wrote a comeback comment under the post: "Sometimes you got to let the Belt move to make the plot thicken."
Onwuzuike's victory, despite being a training race, is a pointer to the form he's in, and can be the needed confidence to go on to win more important races as the season progresses.
He kicked off his season at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in New York, where he clocked 6.68s to finish a respectable fifth in the men's 60m event.
