Australian sprinter Gout Gout has opened up on why he was hesitant to take to the track for his 200m record-breaking run.
However, the most eye-opening revelation came when Holloway disclosed the financial investment he makes in body treatment.
“During the season, I focus a lot on treatment because of the lifestyle I like to live,” he shared. “Maybe in a year, I spend around $40,000 to $45,000 on treatment—just getting my body right and fine-tuning it, which is something I do very well.”
Holloway stressed the importance of having a strong support team, directing his advice to Gout Gout, who has been receiving widespread praise following his record-breaking 200m U-20 performance last December.

Grant Hollloway, who is the reigning 110mH Olympic champion, has revealed the one thing about being a track and field athlete that is ‘stupid as f***’ .
“My piece of advice to you is that if you get a team that can take care of your body, it doesn’t matter how you do it,” Holloway advised. “I’ve told my parents, Noah [Lyles], Rai [Benjamin], and anyone who knows me that I’m always ready for a major championship. I’ll be ready, healthy, and happy.
“Invest in your treatment, invest in your crew, invest in the things that make you happy. If you are happy and healthy, I promise you, you’ll be good.”
As Gout Gout continues his meteoric rise in the sprints, Holloway’s words serve as a crucial lesson on the sacrifices and financial commitment needed to sustain excellence at the highest level.
