Erriyon Knighton VS. Letsile Tebogo! || Men's 200 Meters - 2024 Prefontaine Classic 

I agree! But lately he tensed up against Lindsey. He needs to fix this.

Not true, Usain Bolt jogged relaxed across the line many times.

@@kandiekane. Thats not whats being talked about. Nearly every sprinter out there has done the "chill over the line" things. Tebogo's whole race usually looks relaxed. Bolt didn't have such a relaxed look to his form... his upper body wobble never looked liked he was in chill mode.

That's why I think he would be great over the 400 as well, if he would focus on it

Bolt

Yea no

He did that in high school and hasn't come close to it yet. Just like Boling who hasn't touched his High School 100m PR. High schoolers don't get drug tested and it needs to change

@@lennoxamisi9979 you think he was on the juice?

@@lennoxamisi9979 yea and some athletes just peak in high school

@@lennoxamisi9979 i like them both. no disrespect but your pont doesnt make any sense. Tebogo ran 19.50 and ran 19.81 at the worlds. they are not goin to run super fast times everytime they hit the track. doesnt mean they are taking steriods. Knighton was being tested because he was a pro. just saying...

I hope Tebogo shows hin his heels .

He'll never be Tebogo, or Bolt, if he doesn't master the 100m dash.

​@@MrWarrenRB Knighton already beat Tebogo, so what are you talking about tether!

​@mr.nyceguy7800 Can't we just enjoy the fact that we are truly spoilt for choice in the short sprints right now, post-Bolt? It doesn't have to be a do or die rivalry

I ain’t gone lie, I always have slept on him but I’ve been noticing that he is always performing in the top and I am like, where did he come from. It’s like that guy doesn’t get notoriety or respect for his incredible times but he is really that fast and deserves respect

He is awesome in an era of many guys who can touch 19.6

Make a bet on it!! $200 since it's the 200m

That's the exact list I would have

Lindsey Co.jng from nowhere this year, watch

@AllInTheGame01 Yeah. Agree. The Men’s 200m is very loaded. 200m PB Wise Noah Lyles: 19.31 Erryion Knighton: 19.49 Letsile Tebogo: 19.50 Andre De Grasse: 19.62 Kenny Bednarek: 19.68 Courtney Lindsey: 19.71 Zharnel Hughes: 19.73 Udodi Onwuzurike: 19.76 Joeseph Fahnbulleh: 19.83 Jereem Richards: 19.83 Terrence Jones: 19.87 But this year, only 3 sprinters gets to be in the team to represent their countries. And in this list we have: Team US: Noah Lyles: 19.31 Erryion Knighton: 19.49 Kenny Bednarek: 19.68 Courtney Lindsey: 19.71 One of these 4 US sprinters got to go. So who will be left behind in the 200m for team USA this year?

​@@CollingAshford Lyles and Knighton are definite locks for the 200m, either Bednarek or Lindsey are not making it. It's anyone's guess with them two.

Fr, well said

Most 200m athletes improve their times in their 20s

Crazy that bothers you so much lol

The fact they both now are away from 9.58 and 19.19 could be universally agreed but the thing you said they will not get faster cannot be more disproved by science studies and Maths (statistics). I think no sprinter in the world ever picked before his 21. And we are talking about the ever so little number of sprinters.

​@@Luca_._ As of right now Knighton has peaked before 21, he ran 19.49 2 years ago at 18 and hasn't touched that since. He could get faster but good chance he doesn't, you see sprinters flatten out all the time. Matthew Boling? Joseph Fanbulleh? Both are 22 and ran PBs years ago, it's common

I agree it will open people’s eyes that potential doesn’t equal world record. But if I had to choose I’d say Tebogo is showing clear signs of improvement in all areas.

Tebogo is older than Knighton. Tebogo will be 21 when the Olympics are contested.

​@@Terry-du3vcolder by 6 months.

@@15lacasette82 Knighton is 20 for ALL of 2024 , Tebogo is 21 in 2024 .

depends on the weather conditions

And then he woke up😂😂 What dreamland are you living in

@@EzeBall1710 Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.

How? They aren’t even peaking yet. Too early in the season. 19.60-19.70 will win this race.

U riding him so hard

@@boubacarsylla563that’s what knighton fans do

😂😂😂 you funny

@@flexking4800 where’s the joke? He’s the best of the 3

@@trackletix_tvit’s way too early in the season to start peaking. No smart coach will have him PR this early in the season. This will probably be a 19.6-19.65 race. Which is perfect for where we are in the season right now

@@Dalvin2k he’s finishing the season with a low 19.3 to win the Olympics 19.4 won’t be his peak

He just ran 19.67 in Doha. Huge PR and world lead

Tebogo will eventually break the 400m world record. His speed has not improved but his stamina has, he wont break any of bolts record without an improvement in speed and only the 200m he may have a chance to do so. No one will break the 100m. Knighton seem to have improved his speed significantly, if he has the required 200m stamina he has a chance to break bolts 200m record, but he will have to summon everything he has to do so. I wish them both good luck.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@razzalee305other way around Tebogo has all the speed he ran a 9.88 while knighton has never ran sub 10 to this day. Sorry to break it to you Knighton hasn’t improved speed. But Tebogo clearly improved in some areas

9.88 is miles away from 9.58, dude i gave him credit where he deserves it. His coaching team is also stupid, pick his disciplibe and train him for that. You know one great thing bolt did, when all of jamaica wanted to see him run one more 400m, he never did. He was committed to his choice to be a sprinter, he didnt look back he kept going forward, he realised his mistake and knew he was going to be the greatest sprinter ever. Can i tell you he never ever said he was going to do this or that he just went out there and did it. There is no sprinter in the world with that mental toughness today, im being generous to suggest that knighton can eventually break the 200m and that tebogo can break the 400m because i see them as the best in both those events.

@@razzalee305 not miles just a couple meters 💀💀 (I know it’s a joke)

Not yet Noah Lyle’s is just as superior to them as man is the ape

tebogo also has something to say about the 100m

Nah...Knighton and Bednarek will win he gets third

Noah Lyle’s is focused on taking that 100m

not everything is pronounced in english dude

@rat1303 that is understood mate.. but the general consensus in the track n field word is that the correct pronunciation is TEBO-GO..

@@ninobrown5810 just because a majority english audience says that doesnt mean its true. at the same time he could 100% be saying it wrong, the only 100% confirmed good source is him

@@rat1303 agreed

This year (Olympic Year), only 3 sprinters gets in the team to represent their countries. Noah Lyles Erryion Knighton Kenny Bednarek So who is Courtney Lindsey taking out in the 200m for team US this year?

A 4x200m relay now ?

Apparently less than 6 minutes when it includes a American😂

WR and 44 thooo

Relax fam...Tebogo started the season with a bang that's why...

We hear about all 200m talented athletes. Maybe you need to know about all of them instead of focusing on just Tebogo. Coming 2nd while on the same time as the winner is nothing to lose sleep over for Tebogo.

@@donovan_99_ I get that my guy. Honestly it felt like 4 years ago degrasse came out of nowhere the way we were hyping Lyles. I’m just saying we’re underestimating the field too much.

@@k.o6157 No cap…that he did. Definitely deserves respect in his name✊🏾

Training and not running the 200m till early June😊

His 200m debut is coming in June.

This was a comparison between the two 20 year old former juniors. Lyles is a 27, 28 year old senior.

@@kandiekane. This aint Christian Coleman!🗣 Noah is still 26 He is turning 27 this year

@@realAndresilver And your point is? Your pointless answer does not change the fact that the video was not about him, so, he was not mentioned.

You must be from one of those third world countries?

@@flexking4800 I am !!!!! That’s why JAMAICA 🇯🇲 BEEN DOMINATING 😂😂😂

​@@flexking4800 white-man consciousness much??

@@MsJared1994msjared not really I mean Jamaican women have did all right? but who was representing the Jamaicans? In the men’s 200 m.

So, exactly, who has done "something"??

Has nothing to do with his form😂 he’s just much older than these guys and hasn’t been consistent like that to be considered the favorite

@@abone2pick Yes, and he looks older than his 25 years.
