Yes faster according to age I.e. the best

​@@Stafusthat alone doesn't prove steroid use. It's much easier to put on muscle at that age than as you get older.

​@TheEarthStoodStill . Using that logic what does that say about Flojo ??

​@@StafusThree years is more than enough time to totally transform a young physique that is full of naturally occuring testosterone. I've managed to do that in my 40s.

​@@Stafusjust like how your tongue n fingers on steroids

Newbie gains a should get him a boost in performance.

Why aren’t weight lifters faster than sprinters, then?

@@brianwhoreadsobjectiveinfo1122 it doesn’t exactly work that way. Weight lifters are missing many of the fundamentals of sprinting, like: technique, power-to-weight ratio, muscle endurance, maximum output training, and a plethora of other things. If you’ve ever weight trained, I am sure you’ve experienced better performance in relation to when you first started; running faster would be a consequence of stronger legs for example.

Isn't the African tebogo younger than him and he ran 19.50

@@reddogqb123 tebogo is a little older and he wasn't a junior when he ran 19.5

@@reddogqb123no he’s a year older than Knighton

It did not get ratified so its not the record

@@reddogqb123 Tebogo is 6 months older than Erriyon.

Actually, there's only one faster than him right now.

Yeah he's already doing that bud.

Improve? 19.49 in 2022, when has he run even close in 2023?

​@@pureffmIf the only thing you measure improvement on is time, no, he didn't improve. But he's gone from 4th in '21, then won bronze '22, silver '23, all as a teenager. That's improvement you can't argue with.

​@@pureffmUnless you value times over championship success and bringing home medals. You might but world elite athletes value the latter more.

Truth, after Noah posterized him at nationals, I think it humbled him and lit a fire, but both men respect one another

Needs to get sub 10 before sub 9.8 keep dreaming

mah, not convinced. He lost .3 sec since last year. 19.49 was an outlier, since then his technique has regressed, his times have regressed and stagnated despite having a shorter season without indoor! I think with his current coach and nutrition, we won't see 9.9 from him any time soon.

​@@pureffmThats not true whatsoever. He was consistently running 19.8 but then has started running 19.7. By this time next year he will cut another tenth off of his time

He’s still 19 he’s body is not fully mature yet, he will gain little bit more muscles and bone density which will Help him significantly.

sub 9.8? He hasn't even broke 10 legally lol. Let him first do that and then we can talk about sub 9.9 and after that we can talk about sub 9.8. Slow down.

Yeah Lyles is not in it so all bets are off I think they are going to push each other well

When all is said and done after Knighton and Tedogo's running careers have ended, which do you think will accomplish more, and who will be the better runner?

It’s really just knighton vs tebogo and imma say knighton

To early to say but I think tebogo will be better 100 runner

@@02markcalnot sure but I hope both stay healthy and continue to push each other in the future!

2028? try 2024.

@@TheTrailRabbit no 2028 it’s logical you’re unrealistic that’s what y’all said last year

​@TheTrailRabbit he said by!

I agree. Very likely 2028. It would be wild if his full potential started getting realized next year though.

@@TheTrailRabbit no lol

Juice baby

He also got the world record of 9.72 in 2008

He literally turned into a grown man at that age... Knighton will do the same...

@@mrpassive976yup agree

Definitely sounds like steroids. But maybe he was just a little lazy before.

In 4-5 years maybe

Next year

No way he gets it before tebogo. Tebogo already ran 9.8 and 19.50 and he younger than Knighton

No

@@reddogqb123 Knighton is younger

@@reddogqb123 Knighton is 7 months younger

Potential is what you haven’t done yet.

tell us what is human potential? You don`t make any sense

It must feel good to see someone you knew growing up achieve what he has so far in running, and maybe someday the American anthem will be playing while an Olympic gold medal is around his neck.

Call him anything you want, but just don't call him late for "supper yong".

i mean it's definetly possible considering Michael Johnson ran a 19.32 and his PB in the 100 is only 10.09

@@jaredbowen3527 then again he’s Michael Johnson a former WR holder in the 400m with insane speed maintenance

@@jaredbowen3527 Johnson was primarily a 400m runner who's second event was the 200m. Knighton is a 200m/100m runner so it's not realistic to use Johnson as a comparison. Tebogo is a much stronger 400m runner than Knighton and his 100m is 9.88. Knighton being slightly faster than Tebogo in the 200m suggests his 200m is very close to maxed out in relation to his pure speed and endurance.

@@jaredbowen3527 Johnson never focused on the 100 so he probably coud have ran faster.

One is Glen mills working on Bolts form. Mills madr a huge difference for Bolt!

He covered that race last week lol

@@MrPanggs ohhh I see lol. Thanks

It is way too much pressure I’ve been telling y’all this

People don't talk much about staying healthy, but it's huge when you are trying to improve, and those runners that do have a big edge.

Became a world-renowned athlete before turning 20 years old. You, Sunshine? That’s what I thought. Sit down and STFU.

I’d say more like 2027 or 2028 he’s got a lot of growing to do. And it’s not guaranteed people Peak at different ages

@@sub2me543 That is very true but he's got the greatest potential ever In the 200 based off that he could peak earlier

Wait until Knighton starts hitting a little bit of weights for the 1st time this fall!

Bolt’s PB was run at 24. Crazy of you to assume that a teenager has already peaked

@@Brave-828 not crazy at all many have done that before it’s extremely common in track. And I’d say his logic makes more sense than guaranteeing someone will be faster than bolt bc they’re doing better than he did younger. Speed isn’t always linear

​@Brave-828 23. Well actually 22 just a few days before his birthday.

@@Brave-828 it was run at 22 years old get your facts right before calling someone out. That means knighton has 3 years left…, see how stupid that sounds. keep comparing!! Instead of letting the man shine

all of them steroids injection is wild back in the day

@johnknight-8mwcg: I was under the assumption that the doping testing got more strict and that is why Bolt got slower as he got older.i agree with what you say about what his potential could have been if he has addressed the technique like you mentioned ...

@@paolocastellano343Johnson's technique in his events was perfect to watch, he never changed, It was like a well-oiled machine, and that is why he was so fast, or part of the reason.......Bolt was awkward, a poor starter,Arms all over the place not aerodynamic in the least, and each race would see a different bolt technique, but super fast over the last part of the races....the 1st 50 meters was as though he was just getting his legs going, the last 50 meters or of the bend in the 200 was his time in those races.......basically unbeatable in the 200 for the last 50 meters........Once he had broken the world records 9.59 and 19.19, he never got close to them again, and his fame went worldwide, I think he could have dropped these times with ease actually, he was a kid, and most men peak in their late twenties before injuries take over......in his late 20s he was just about holding on to wins by a meter in the 200 and the 100 was up for grabs.......it was a fascinating journey to watch and as you rightly say did doping have an influence on his performances.........I remember Bolt being beaten just before he turned pro, he did not look anything special, and then he started knocking chunks off his times and people started talking about this kid who had knocked a second off his 200 meters in one season as somebody to look out for.........The rest then happened very quickly, maybe too fast to be natural........as you pointed out.
