The Age newspaper apologizes for photo mix-up involving Australian athletes

The Age newspaper has apologized for mistakenly using a photo of athlete Peter Bol instead of Gout Gout on its front page. The error occurred during the cropping of a photo for a feature on Gout's new Adidas deal. The mistake drew criticism on social media, with some accusing the publication of racism. In response, The Age issued a statement apologizing to both athletes and confirmed that a correction would appear in the next edition. Gout Gout, a rising star in Australian athletics, recently broke a long-standing record at the Australian All Schools Championships. He is gaining attention for his potential ahead of the upcoming Brisbane Olympics.
