You joking right? Knighton broke the U20 WR at 17 running faster than even Bolt. A damn 19.84 - a time Boling has not gotten close to even at his ripe old age of 23. At 17 years old, Knighton made the Olympic team where he placed 4th in the 200M final. Where was Boling again? You people can't be serious. Of course it's racist. What exactly has Boling accomplished? Beyond the hype of you people?

Lol, Boling is still 21, give it a rest bro.

Blacks dominate sprinting, period. So when a white guy does real well it,'s a story. C'mon. That's just reality. It's unusual.

And as far as "what exactly has he accomplished? Beyond hype...?" How bout:

Only person in History other than King Carl to go sub 10, Sub 20, and more than 8m in LJ? I mean, that's worth SOMEthing, right?

ANnnnd..... he runs a mean 4x400 anchor.

[This Knighton run should really make him try more 400's though]

WHAT A 200 SEASON. For now it looks like a frontrunner in the person of Knighton has emerged from the pack, but that's just for now. Kerley and Norman already went 19.8, and Lyles has already shown that he is every bit Knighton's 100m equal, and maybe slightly better. Bednarek blew Knighton away in last year's final. In terms of exceptional times, IMO at nationals the 200m will vastly outshine the 100m, depending on the schedule. We may end up with the fastest 200m race in history, can you imagine the field in 19.6x and the leaders faster than that? Wow.

Anybody know Knighton's schedule? I guess some people are running in Nairobi in a few days, then the Doha DL comes soon after that. You would think that Knighton would have invitations to some good meets, given his results last year--but if not, how great would it be if he remained in north america and didn't suffer the travel-related fatigue that can get to people! Is he running at Eugene? Man, if this guy stays local, and runs Eugene and nationals, you are going to see something special. Guys like Kerley, Norman, Bednarek, and Lyles will have some mileage on them by the time nationals come around; guys like Knighton, Laird, Slade, etc. might be fresher.

If I were him, I would stick around, stay with my friends and family, and live in my own bubble, keep on doing what's obviously been working. I hope this clocking was accurate, and that it wasn't his one-off accidental PB. Remember how exciting it was when Lyles went 19.5, it seemed like there wasn't going to be any limit. I wonder if these guys will now push Lyles to a faster time.

If I were him I’d go altitude right now. And run an 18.99 to be the first man ever to under 19 seconds. And it will be the world record. Of course it will have an “A”next to it as being set it altitude but so did Mennea’s record from 1979 to 1996. It was simply the world record until Johnson broke it.

In the marathon Kipchoge broke two hours and will always be known as the first guy that did it —and it will be forgotten that it wasn’t perfectly legal circumstances. Ashton Lambie in cycling broke the 4000 m world record with a 3:59 last year and will always be known as the guy who first went under four minutes. And it is the official WR.

While I’m at it, Norman should go too and make a sub 43 attempt.

Bolling should be competing in decathlon or something then, there's no other award for being decent in a bunch of individual events. That said it's fine to root for your white boy, I don't see anything racist in that.

However, the original comment stated some garbage about Knighton not accomplishing anything when everyone should already know what he did in the Olympics

It may be unusual for a white guy to be fast and to be able to jump, but the uniqueness of such should be kept in perspective given that the times run are mediocre for blacks. Knighton is practically 4 years younger than Boling and almost half a second faster than Boling over 200M.

So Boling is sub this, sub that, sub the next - big deal. Is there a medal or trophy for such? Until there is, kindly gain some perspective and stop the overhyping.
