He seems like a consistent 2:11-2:13 guy
Time to hang it up. 18 years old. He obviously can’t figure it out. Can’t beat a bunch of guys in their primes. -90% of the LRC board

Definitely, a 19.50 200m converts to a sub 1:35 marathon on the VDOT calculator. Kipchoge, watch out son.

I see this kid being a 200m man don't see him ever being a legit 100m threat.
Think....Andy Stanfield, Livio Burruti, Henry Carr, Tommie Smith, Kenteris, all Olympic gold at 200m, nothing special in a 100.
Bolt went 10.03 a few months before turning 19.
Knighton went 10.04 a few months after turning 18.
I think Knighton will mature quite a bit and get a lot better at the 100 just like Bolt did in his early 20s.

I don't compare anyone to Usian Bolt he was simply on a whole other level.
There have been tons of sprinters in sprintdom where the 200m was their better event that will be this kid, Matthew Boling is a 200 cat, look at where LeMaitre ended up, John Regis would lose the 100 to Christie then destroy him at 200m, could go on and on....
yeah it's kinda like saying "so and so is gonna be the next Jordan!" but at the same time I really think Bolt is the closest comparison to Knighton in terms of physical makeup and times they've run at the same age.
time will tell.

he’s 17. Leave him the F alone. Sad that you’re post begs for attention by knocking him. I wish you’d get doxxed so all of us can give you a blanket party.

You are being ridiculous. Who are you to say Knighton may not be the one to surpass Bolt. He has already decimated Bolt's junior records, something none of the people you mentioned ever did. If he continues to progress, he may just be the first person to run a sub 19 200M and a sub 9.58 100M
Only time will tell.
Knighton needs to do some strength training. Not to get bulky, just to get stronger. If he did this sub 19 look out.
Off the sauce?
You got a point, but that time simply doesn’t hold a candle to his 200m performances.
Good observation though! Maybe we’ll see a sub-10 soon? World U20 record?
