What Erriyon Knighton Just Did Is Ridiculous || 100 Meter History - 400 Meter Double 

Knighton has 17 of the 20 fastest times ever in the 20pm u20

The tracks are getting faster. More springy rubber in them. Can't compare athletes of the past to modern athletes.

@@garrysekelli6776 But tracks that are too springy aren’t good either, since they don’t allow the foot to roll naturally as it hits the ground. So all that. Cancels out

tebogo > knighton

Anybody betting against Knighton holding the 200 WR one day will lose his money.

True, the US baton exchange is always rock solid.

​@@boomshankah1123it would be better if they could practice that exchange more.

I hope King Carl Lewis gets to coach it

I'm still waiting for the video on Tanner Adams🙂😎🥳 More Cole Beck coverage would be great along with Coby Hilton

Don’t think he will make the 100 relay team tbh. 100m stacked for America rn

FINALLY someone who saw what was really going on! Knighton ran the curve so fast and completely dusted Kendall Williams to the point that he made Noah Lyles run off far too early, that’s why Kendall Williams couldn’t get the baton to Lyles in time. Lyles messed up. Lyles realized that Knighton completely blitzed Kendall Williams, and in order to not start too far behind Fahnbulleh, Lyles started running off too early and tried to go at the same time as Fahnbulleh did, but Knighton was the right distance from Fahnbulleh, Williams was still a bit too far off Lyles when Lyles started to run!

fahnbulleh on second

@@enric5230Fanhbulleh represent Liberia at the Olympics.

@@enric5230 not only does he run for Liberia, he is simply not fast enough for the US relay team

Knighton will probably not make the relay team . Gotta get top 4 at 100m nationals for that which is very unlikely given how stacked the us is right now

Leg 1 Coleman , Leg 2 Grant Holloway Leg 3 Knighton Leg 4 Lyles

He definately has filled out. He is now built like a man. He was all legs. Now he can get some upper body power workin for him

And he will continue to do so, 24-26 is peak 200m age, lyles easily added another 5lbs of muscle in the last year alone, 2028 will be Knighton vs Tebogo vs New Guys. But very excited for this year too. Post season, sep may see some records fall

That's what tebogo needs, then he will be perfect for WR

@@y3_38 You guys are so lame, please... the minute a guy shows to have potential, you all start talking about WR right away... C'mon, no matter how gifted you are, going 19.1s is not easy. Please stop acting like little kids with no control over their emotions.

@@HunterReport Stop saying things like if you had it all figured out. Bolt ran his 200m PB at 22. Yohan ran his 200m PB at 21. MJ ran his 200m PB at 28. Gatlin ran his 200m PB at 33. Neither of these guys fits your description (24-26). Of course that some sprinters also ran their PBs from 24-26, but it's just not a rule as you seem to be implying - look at my list above to prove you wrong.

Let's hope they haven't peaked too early and avoid injuries

Just pray pray pray they don't end up like Kiptum

She’s definitely gonna be in the relay pool. She’s splitting 49.3 in the 4x400. That is faster than Abby Steiner 4x400 relay split in Eugene world championships. And although she’s in the outside looking in. She could steal a 200m spot if no more than 2 athletes are in sub 22 form like last year. She could definitely get a 22.3 down to 22.1 or lower by June considering the 22.3 was her season opener.

@@kc5466 Hope I'm wrong, but feels like a year too early for JaMeesia to make an individual US Team as Gabby, Abby & Sha'Carri if healthy will have a little too much for her esp after a long NCAA Season. The likes of Kayla White, Brittany Brown & Tamara Clark could also be a factor like Kayla was last year in making the WC 200m Team. Re Abby, don't forget that she ran 48.78 & 48.92 splits for Kentucky in that '22 NCAA Season but had run 50+ races by the time she got to Eugene WC where she split 49.99 in the 4x4 Final. Britton in that same race split 49.39 which was slower than her 48.60 split for Arkansas earlier that season, so gotta hope that South Carolina manages JaMeesia well this outdoor season 🤞

@@AllInTheGame01 Abby Steiner is the X factor because both gabby and Shacarri are gonna be in. If Abby is back to being Bowerman winner Abby then she is not only in but might finish ahead of Shacarri in the Olympic qualifications spot. That’s if Shacarri doesn’t improve on her 200m pb’s. But it seems like Shacarri’s not neglecting it this year. However, I got abby in the same type of situation that I have McLaughlin and Elaine in. They’re all great athletes making a comeback but no one has any idea what form there gonna be in. And if not at the top of their game, there are athletes training to take their spot.

@@kc5466 With Gabby running a 49.68 400m PB last yr & wanting to do the 200/400m Double @Olympic Trials with an eye on starting on that 4x4 Team with Syd, Athing & Britton, will she start on both 4x1 & 4x4 Teams ahead of Abby if she comes back in '22 Bowerman shape when she ran on both Teams @Eugene WC?!

1. it's a fine line there coach about running the 400 to maintain speed at the 200...and 2. how many times do we get to have the "work on his start more" advice from youtubers. Finally, did you Major in Obvious at that "playerschool" there jackson? "if he can put all the pieces together it'll make him a way better...." ....fill in the blank for everyone about everything.

@@troy5731 I bet you thought you killed that little speech huh? I know you typed that with a smile on your face thinking "ha I got him" Smh, if you don't have anything to actually add to the conversation, go ahead and bounce.

I credit Allyson Felix and Gabby Thomas. Even though neither one pioneered it.

Van niekerk, Michael Norman

Unfortunately our likes won’t get him there. He has to get top 4 at nationals if he wants to make the cut 😅

They don’t have to… 4 fastest men from 100m final at nationals will make up the team

@@abone2pick No they don’t have to, but having a good 100m time doesn’t mean you can run a could turn as a third leg. Knighton is one of the best turn runners right now and this 4x100 proves that and that he should be strongly considered as third leg for USA. Back in 2019 Noah Lyles wasn’t even in the 100m final at nationals and ran anchor leg for the 4x100 so Knighton probably can for the Olympics if they choose him.

@@actual_random 🤣

Come on now... stop trolling, you know what he meant.

@@actual_randombruh if you’re gonna correct someone, at least get it right. The straight is not shorter… otherwise they could only run the 100m dash in lane one.

They love hyping up everything😂 it's Americans for you

⁠@@actual_randomI think you’re the one here who needs to be educated on circles. The turn is the same length, but how tight the turn is, is different. Come on, it’s basic maths.

It just happened last summer in the world championships…. Lyles got gold, knighton got silver, tebogo got bronze

@@juju3x175 🤣

Yep! Rematch!@@juju3x175

@@juju3x175 Its a new year.. lol....

@@fin2-em2mf @TalkwithEli said he is going to call for the three to race each other until it happens and it already has happened.

He did say that some of these listed times are dubious…

@@callmesasser Yeah however all times there kind of made sense compared to that one, I'm surprised it even made the list

Yes over 9 metres

Don't miss it next year.

Michael Johnson... 👍💯

Still prime Yohan Blake until proven otherwise!!!

@@actual_randomI don’t know about the others, but I’m pretty sure Noah didn’t run 10.07 on the bend in his 19.31. Obviously different sources will say different things, but I think it’s more realistic to say that he ran closer to 10.15 on the bend with a 9.16 close.

Here come the delusional hype train

@@actual_random I'm not sure fastest curve means "greatest turn runner". I'd argue that the runs where athletes get their 200m PB are the runs where they ran the curve correctly. Erriyon is slower in 100m than everyone on the list above, & yet he has a faster 200m PB than Gay, Norman, & Dix. Also, of the 5 athletes you wrote 3 of them this was during their PB, however the other 2 are not. Walter Dix ran 19.53 with a slower bend than his 10.11 bend & ended up with a faster time, same with Tyson Gay when he ran his PB. Now, I don't think that I agree that Erriyon is the best corner runner ever, but I'm not sure the stats you showed are that relevant. Yohan Blake has a better PB than everyone other than Bolt, & has a 19.44 finish as well. Even though Blake has the fastest 3rd leg of a 4x100 ever, better 100m & 200m PBs than everyone that isn't Bolt, he doesn't have an opener in the top 5 because he runs the 200m curve at better pacing than most of the above athletes.

He’s insane, since I moved to Maryland all I’ve heard is ‘Quincy Wilson breaks this record, Quincy Wilson wins this title..’ 😂

Yes bro ❤ he is same age as me 😊❤

Just turned 20 in January 2024. Just took to track 4 years ago... AMAZING

I think he threw that in for April Fool’s because ain’t no way…

He ran for the US in the semis of the 2017 WC in London.

Welcome to the world of TRP's clickbait.

@@thejoyofsoxmovie7211 indeed. 🤣

@@thejoyofsoxmovie7211he is surprised or shocked by something every video.

@@thejoyofsoxmovie7211 It is good content for the fans of track.

Yeah that’s obviously a glitch in the Matrix

Ditto for the #3 time, by another unknown. But yeah, why even include that 8.59 on the list, when it’s obviously nowhere close to reality.

He is not in the top 100m runners for the USA and has not even run it so far this year except in the relay.

@@vernonfrance2974 The relay pool is not taken from only 100M runners.

@@ajrocks12x To be in a relay also includes ability and skill at passing and receiving the baton. Consideration is also given to the spacing of the events. A runner needs some recovery time and therefore cannot always fit the relay heats and finals in to his/her individual events schedule. This explains why the USA is able to do so well as we have enough personnel to substitute fresh legs if need be. Smaller countries like the Netherlands and Botswana, for example, do not.

@@vernonfrance2974 : what are you talking about? this very race shows you that Knighton can pass the baton. Further, it only takes some practice by all of them. Thirdly , Knighton is only running one individual race. Some, will most likely be running two. He will have fresher legs than some.

Idiocy, but par for the course with this clown. Biggest clickbaiter on YT.

yeah people always talk about how blakes bend split in 2012 was the fastest they ever forgetting bolts bend in 2008 was likely the only bend to ever be under 9 seconds

😂

@username.exenotfound2943 Ye. Check Blake's is technically the fastest no though. Beejay Lee's is definitely wrong Holy shit 😂. There's usually about a 0.5-0.7 second discrepancy between the 100m bend and straight for the 3rd leg. Hence why Blake's 3rd leg somewhat makes sense since it's 0.66 seconds fast than his 9.75 If we used Blake's difference for Lee then he would've been in *9.25* shape at that moment!! Using the 0.7 we get a 9.29!!! 😬 So ye. Either the splits were catastrophically incorrect(most definitely) or someone had Beejay Lee be chased by a group of Grizzly bears 😂

@@khumokwezimashapa2245 beejay lee is april fools *bj*

Don’t forget it’s his opener. Low key event - no pressure to go super fast

You do realize it's his first race of the season right?

@@actual_random It's completely silly. It's like saying we lost respect for Bolt in 2017 because he couldn't go sub 9.9s... Makes no sense whatsoever.

His best time is 45.19.

I don't have the splits for Bolt 08 and 09. Must have been crazy fast times, no?

@@Yes_I_c4n 8.98 3rd leg in 2008 and 9.07 third leg in 2009.

@@Pumpxkin Bolt was actually slower in 09 compared to 08? That's odd, isn't it? I mean, I would say that Bolt's shape in 08 was almost on par with his shape in 09, but even still I was not expecting 9.07s vs 8.98s, more like the other way around if that.

@@Yes_I_c4n In 09 Bolt said he was very tired and the rounds got to him more so I guess that explains it.

@@Pumpxkin Yeah, I guess that's what explains it. Regardless, he still ran a 9.07s split. 😂
