Noah Lyles celebrates in Erriyon Knighton's face: "That's called being posterized right there."

Motivation

He'll lose to the kid at Worlds and then will never defeat him again

Yeah he that was too much. And then Lyles talked sh*t about his better speed in the post race interview. Rightfully, Knighton was not a fan.

You know what I kinda like this. Very disrespectful, but now I'm full on routing for knighton to beat Lyles at Worlds. Me thinks Noah poked the wrong bear.

Good. If we want this sport to take off, we need some rivalry and ego. I've had enough of the "Alison Felix is a mother" spins that is the focus on our sport now.

I can't wait for Worlds. If I was Lyles, I'm not sure I would have done that as I think Knighton is the future, but as a fan, I love it. It makes things much more exciting and gives the mainstream sports media something to talk about.

It's world class sprinting. People are gonna show out and be theatrical. Nice does not win in this game.

He's 18,a grown adult, the celebration was unnecessary but not over the top

I remember playing early sports video games where a player score a touchdown and then proceed to just stop right after crossing the goal line and then robotically walk away. That's what some of y'all want actual athletes to act like.

This is something Rojo and his followers love to do. Trash talk after veing embarrassed. BTW, he's 18.

He knows the kid is his biggest threat for the foreseeable future. Wanted to get in his head, but Knighton will make him pay for that at World’s.

of course he is the future - kid is 17 and almost beat the world champion right there. Maybe he loses to him in worlds, but each year because of his natural body growth he is going to be a lot stronger. Lyles's body is done growing naturally.

Anyone have a replay of this?

Was it more disgusting than what Karrissa did in the 1500?

There's plenty of rivalry and ego...I'm sure thousands of running fans have come here looking for a friendly and quaint running site ...let's run sounds so inviting. Until they see how runners are.

Runners look like addicts to PEDs who all run on hate and hate each other.

I'm sure the attitudes are a good part of the lackluster Eugene crowd.

Anyone have a replay?

Why so serious? This is just good fun, like what you see after every dunk in the NBA. Pro T&F needs more of this. Much more….
