Between him, Boonson (16.5 y/o) and Knighton (18.5) is this the greatest trio of teen prodigies ever?
Obviously we'll have to see how it develops but I think I'd have to agree, and it's great how international the group is
Also, corrected to 19.99
How’s the testing in Botswana?
Boonson just ran his heat, only 20.68, but into a strong headwind (-1.4)

Boonson 20.68 having to work a bit (until shutting down the last 30) with the South African running a PB. The wind was -1.5, which factors. Only about 4 hours of rest to the Semis but I do like that they have a full day off for the final to rest up.
We have something unusual goiing on with this guy. Love his attitude, he appears to have......it.
In Botswana, the official stats have very high current birth registration, though it was only 72% back in 2012. So, it's much more likely his age is reliable than it would be for a Kenyan athlete but only about a 2/3 chance of his birth having been registered back around 2003. But I am highly suspicious of runners from southern Africa, because there has been isolated sprint success and quite a few positive tests and whereabouts violations in recent years. His 100m in 9.91 with that much turning and celebrating means that he is among the best in the world all of a sudden. All this raises big red flags.

So we just forget all about this kid because he's obviously dirty, a low rent cheater, could be 25 so we need to pretend none of this happened.............right?
Ok let's do that, all fake and we can't have any of this.

Not sure it's all of a sudden. He's been on the radar for a minute.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
So he is dirty but Knighton, with his otherworldly 19.49, is somehow clean 😂
19.96 to take Gold!
Whoops, silver, the Israeli athlete took gold, into a headwind!

Knighton ran 20.3 at 15. 19.49 is pretty natural progression.
A 0.35 drop in pb in less than a year is a natural progression!!!
And what exactly makes Tebogo's progression "less natural"?
