He is capable of sprinting 19.4x to 19.7x by end of summer. Please note: Sprinting 200m in said range would have earned one an Olympic medal at every Summer Olympics.
I still cant believe people say hes "jogging", or how often they use it when an athlete is just at 95% effort instead of 100%.
So maybe he splits 10.5 and 9.4? He still cant run 10.5 pace for more than 350m so how is that remotely a jog. Sigh.
No he wasn’t jogging, but he was just cruising. And he did ease out of the blocks.
Bolt DID once jog during the 2nd half of a 9.8x 100m effort in London, it was the most incredible sprint performance I have ever seen, with BJ 9.79, FloJo 10.49, and Blake 19.26 not far behind.
JOGGED 2nd HALF OF A 9.8x 100m is something of which nobody else has been capable. It requires unbelievable 1st half and a high natural jog speed. I doubt even Tebogo could do it, even if he improves his start.
He does, however, have that super-cruise, like an aircraft that can exceed Mach 1 without afterburner.
If ben johnson is counted thats really sad. He admitted he took steroids

Aside from Lyles and now Knighton, no else has proven they can run sub 19.7 reliably.
DeGrasse, Tebogo, and Bednarek have all peaked around 19.5/19.6, but those were pretty much one offs.
I like Lyle’s still for gold at 19.2, Knighton Silver at 19.4.
Tebogo is great, but he’s yet to be consistent enough to control when he runs sub 19.5.
Tebogo is the main threat to Lyles. I think he’s still a year away from overtaking him though. Lyles gold and Tebogo silver in Paris 200m.
What we saw last year was that Lyles had more in the tank for the 200 by the end of Worlds. That being said Tebogo looks like he’s at a different level this year.
Lyles is also on a different level with a much improved start shown by his indoor 60m this year. He already had the best top speed, now he gets out better than anyone as well.

Reliably? Of course not. Under bright lights, Olympic 200m final, some men set personal best and others 1% or slower than personal best.

He’s not condoning drug use.
It can still be amazing to watch what athletes can do physically when on drugs. a lot of amazing performances on drugs. Landis, Ben johnson, Bonds/McGuire, the nfl.

Oh I agree, but I think Tebogo is close in top-end speed and possibly is even better at maintaining it than Lyles. Enough to beat him in the 200? Maybe not. But his last 50 meters will be very special. Lyles may have a big enough gap given how good his turn is becoming. In the 100, I’d favor Lyles as Tebogo needs to continue filling out.

Tebogo is great, but he’s yet to be consistent enough to control when he runs sub 19.5.
When did Knighton prove he can run sub 19.7 reliably? He only did it in 2022.
Knighton should be considered as big of a threat in the 200m to Lyles as Tebogo is. For some reason, nobody is giving him a chance in these early season debates.
Because no one has seen anything from him besides a 20.2 indoors.
Lyles ran 6.43 and Tebogo ran 30.69
If Knighton came out and dropped a 6.4x or a 31.0 or a 44.x I would put him on the same level as both of them right now. Even Kenny looks good right now. Easiest 46 i've seen since Michael Norman.
Did anyone catch that 3rd leg Knighton ran on the 4x1 at FL relays? It was incredible. He certainly looks like he means business this year.

Whoa, pump the breaks on this partner. His start has improved, but not he does not get out better than anyone.
He's just not being left in the blocks and forced to catch up. In his best races during indoors, he was even with half on starts the field and slightly behind the rest.
This race by Tebogo shows that it might be more than just Lyles and the clock in Paris.
Very impressive of Tebogo to jog this 200m and still run 19.94.
Jokes aside, how does this bode for Lyles? IMO, Tebogo looked very smooth but 19.9s aren't winning friends or influencing people even if it's early in the season.
Tebogo is the main threat to Lyles. I think he’s still a year away from overtaking him though. Lyles gold and Tebogo silver in Paris 200m.
Well, I was almost right. Maybe without the Covid it would have played out this way. Going forward though, it’s going to be the Tebogo show.
