BBC Deleted Tweet About Sprinter Gout Gout Faster Than Usain Bolt

GOUT GOUT GOES FASTER THAN USAIN BOLT AT 18

This is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post from user Kiki @kikisknees that questions why BBC Sport deleted an original tweet about Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout. The original BBC graphic shows the sprinter celebrating after his race, with text confirming he ran 200m faster than Usain Bolt did at the same age of 18. The joke/pun here is that the athlete's name "Gout Gout" matches the name of the painful inflammatory medical condition gout, which is why the tweet was reportedly taken down.

This screenshot was originally shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @kikisknees, highlighting the deleted original BBC Sport post. It was later reposted to 9Gag with the claim that the image is not AI generated, and BBC removed the post due to the awkward unintended pun on the athlete's name.
