Kid is practically running pro times at the age of 16. Got me messed up
No. He has 16yo son.
You can see slower times in the Diamond league...
@@user-ki4xw2rb8q
Much slower...
Has a coach I can tell
You that most ppl think he will run so much faster when he get early 20s and mature but that could very well be his peak or close to it. It will be very hard for him to maintain 20s constantly at that age but it is quite a feat indeed kudos and bravo. Now I’m the national level where everyone do 20s that’s another ball game that’s why you see runners come and goes unheard because sprinting is a mental game and it’s extremely tough it’s a violation of the human body and the training is the hardest among all sports for the body. Now I hope he becomes a delegate for the national team if all works out but usually kids that fast end up WR in the NCAA or NFL since there is not enough money in the sport even if he would break the world record he wouldn’t make cash. You have to have a combination or charisma and talent and presence to align all those to get multimillion endorsements. I hope he does achieve it we need young fresh blood in this sports either USA Canada Europe Africa wherever the better
jadian johnson how many bolt are there 🤣😂 6’5 sprinter 🤣😂 that right there is an anomaly in itself so wtv bolt did his special but he is not the masses he is clearly a phenomenon and exception to sprinting short distance
And now, not even two years later, he’s lowered Bolt’s U20 record to 19.49 in his first race of the season. Unbelievable.
Is "U20" under 20 years old? If so what was bolts time?
@@_SayitAintSo bolt time was 19.93
How fast was yours at 16 yrs old hater? Don't answer that. I think you already did.
and now he's a silver medalist at the world championships.
Whatever records are currently being set in college or pro track will be short-lived based off the up-and-coming talent just ahead!
Agreed
True but usains 19.19 is no joke
Not Bolt's records
Tho it is very unsure that these young talents can transfer that greatness to the elite level as it takes a lot of sacrifice to get there. Good point tho
Except that 100m record
That’s a wild fast time for anyone, especially in high school. He’s a tenth away from qualifying for a world champ final. Imagine when he’s 21-22
I think this kid with the right sponsorship and coaches maybe JUSTIN GATLIN who is retiring can coach him and if anyone that will be the next USAIN BOLT this kid has the potential. I still think if CARL LEWIS and MICHAEL JOHNSON ran in today's track with the science, training facilities and advancement in nutrition would tie or beat USAIN BOLT's record. The track today and all the advancement is so much more then 25 yrs ago when LEWIS was in his last leg and MICHAEL JOHNSON was at his beginning.
@@asianfighter62 advancement in nutrition is non existent if anything modern nutrition has degraded... Bolt and other sprinters didn't break world records because of nutrition but the usual... And cycling begins as early as middle school hence you see a person running pro times. He is sure gifted compared to the rest but just like everyone before him nothing has changed
It’s hard to say, we see many fast kids like knighton become irrelevant when they get older, only time will tell, hope for the best for him though.
@@ianm8218 true. It’s all about developing properly and making sure that regardless of times, that this man stays healthy and stays the course. He should focus strictly on technique in college and injury prevention.
@@Itsnoureldin he’s only been running track for 3 years
He ran:
16 Years old - 20.33
17 Years old - 19.84
18 Years old - 19.49
19 Years old - ?
19.72, Solid
@@joshuacampbell5068lmao😂😂😂
Bolt set that 19.19 record at 23
The “oh shit” from the cameraman let’s you know how fast the kid was moving.
Lol
That wasn't the cameraman, that was somebody mama watching her son get smoked
Who's here after Erriyon Knighton ran a 19.84 just a year later (aged 17)
He just ran a 19.4
@@pj3795 absolutely crazy
Wait until he keeps his form in the last 20 meters.
incorectulpolitic Imagine posting this on something not even related to what you are speaking of
Benjamin Mohler ikr like what the fuck are they on about, not even a normal comment but a reply too. Just really weird.
He’s actually a 4 star recruit. He’s a football player
wickeli He deleted it 😂
Benjamin Mohler oh I reported him guess YT didn’t like it either 😂
legend has it that she is still saying "come on Kevar"
So, he just ran 19.49, we all should have seen it coming, don't know how long the GOAT will be able to hold on to that 200m record.
Might have to watch out for other 16 year old Thai athelete who ran 20.37 in 200 meter
I used to run this fast when dudes like this were chasing me through the projects back in the day
Fax😂adrenaline can make you better than top athletes for a second
Keep your "disguised", coded racist tropes to yourself. This kid is a talented MINOR, who did nothing at all to you (except make you feel inferior with his talent.) Pick on adults your own age, you keyboard coward.
Visionary0001 there just joking ik da guy and saw him run he’s pretty quick very surprised he got a whole second faster now
I'm 50% sure the dude who made the comment is also the same ethic persuasion. Thats why it's funny. And if he not still funny.
IT WAS THE POLICE CHASING YOU! TELL US THE TRUTH 😁😁😁😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝😸😸😸
Hasn’t even been a year and he’s in the Olympic 200m final… AMAZING
Florida speed just crazy
Im still trying to understand why Florida creates such fast sprinters. Maybe the track is too hot, gotta get off of it as fast as you can
Nice
Harry Garrett not hating but it could be honestly. We’re seeing extreme time improvements very well they could be on something maybe something minor
Matthieu Bourgois its because of the heat and humidity. It has an impact on the way our muscles develop.
Matthieu Bourgois I think a lot of the south is like that. The south just breeds unbelievably athletic people due to warm climates and year round training.
A little muscle on this kid would put him under 20.00 seconds. Scary stuff for a 16 year old. Look forward to seeing him compete down the road and hope he continues to get good coaching/mentoring.
He just ran a 19 something recently.. The kid is scary.
@@domdittyful 19.84 and he's off to the Olympics as a 17 year old. He could make the podium as well if not gold
@@Penn152 and he just ran a 19.49s aged 18... Crazy
this kid's the only guy social distancing in florida
Edit: thanks for all the likes :)
Jeremy B ik him lol his cousin went to my hs for fb and now in college I’m not surprised he ran a low 21 when I was still in track hs kinda scared now I gotta run against ppl like him in college😒😢
😂😂
Good one
rofl
Love it
Oh my god!!!! There’s at least another tenth of a second just by getting him to hold his head still down the straight.
Looking forward to watching him develop.
@Harry Garrett - Then explain to us how it works, I would like to know... Thank you
Plus maybe practicing his bend speed
@Harry Garrett - Why are you attacking, I just asked you a question. Lol, that's all you had to say the first time. Apparently you know this kid, is he in your neighborhood or go to the school in your neighborhood?
@Harry Garrett For a 16 year old whose body is in the process of transforming from a boy to a man, 3 months can lead to HUGE difference in physical ability.
@Harry Garrett So you're saying I'm wrong in saying that a teenagers body changes during puberty?...
Not even a year later and this kid, just aged 17, runs a wind legal 19.88 in the semi finals at the US trials to break Usain Bolt's World Youth Record of 19.93...and he eased down at the line while doing so 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️. Bolt's 19.19 is in mortal peril within the next 3-7 years and I reckon Knighton will be the man that is capable of the job. The successor to Bolt has fully arrived ladies and gentlemen 🔥🔥
Now we have 10 or 11 other teenagers running sub 20's and 1 other ran a sub 20 this is wild
@@ItsCertified Yeah but this dude ran 19.49 as a senior in high school
@@elijahebbert6884 look at the time of my comment ... we're talking about the same guy. Just 1 year apart
WOW!!!!! 16 years of age and burning up lane 4 like that. Kid was floatin’! Keep ya head on straight and surround yourself with the one who look out for you and you’ll go far. Best of luck to you. Use the talent God has given you and build on it to become someone great!
A year later and he’s run 19.84 and got 4th at the olympics. Incredible.
4th the 1st 2nd and 3rd people must’ve been monsters
@@finneganlover8825 I mean 4th isnt bad considering he was only 17 and he was literally running against the fastest people in the world.
@@domdittyful not saying it’s bad just that the people in the top 3 must’ve been super saiyans in speed
@@finneganlover8825 He just ran a 19.4 and now he’s faster than all the people who beat him I. The Olympics
@@ariapplefarm he's the fourth fastest of all time
One of the wildest athletic performances I have ever seen.
That's insanely fast .. I've watched track and sprints in particular for the last 50 years .. this is mind blowing stuff
YES SIR! that young man is the future of U.S. SPRINTING! running 20.33 @ 16!
He might play football instead
I remember watching this video when it first came out and now look at where he is !
Same 😂😂
There's a 16 year old thai called Puripol Boonson that ran 20.19 this year
Wow dude stop bringing up other people and at least have respect 😒
bro barring injury or any unforseen cicumstance this guy could be a legend
This boy got potential, maybe can win a silver or bronze in the world champs perhaps?
He made 21.6 look slow
That was my brother
Ima race him tom ima be wearing a head tie see me
Ima race him in the 100m
Let me know if you saw me ima be wearing lime green
@Justin Gatlin thats me
That start and transition to the straightaway was beautiful!
He's a 4⭐️ wide receiver as well 🤯
My guess is he gives up concussionball
Norman ran 20.30 wind legal at 17. Crazy times for someone so young.
The guy in the back was not havin it😂😂😂
This is the Erriyon race!
Lol
Crazy that he just ran in the olympics and that he runs 19.84 at 17
Just came here after he ran another sensational race of 200m at 19.49sec
Soon he will be running under 20 for sure
maybe he'll get sub 20 while still eligible for u18 record
@@pepsiman9840 well this aged well
@@TheYKBRon lol, it did, like fine wine
That is just insane. I was a good 200M runner and won at HS level. Would have lost by 2 secs (about 20 meters) to this guy. Once he has proper form (no head bop, better arm motion at the end), he can be sub 20 EASY. Perfect curve form and start, which is very rare. Just ridiculous.
I'm thinking 19.7's easy and maybe quicker. Hope he keeps his head down and continues to train to improve his finishing form.
Remeasure the length of that track, incredible!!
This kid is absolutely the future.
Now that WAS Really Impressive... I'm going to give Props to 2nd and 3rd also. 21's ain't slow
It look slow cause of how fast he is
Who's here after he ran 19.49!? At 18!?
Wow ooooh wow. When you’re talking national records broken something special is going down. This young man stays healthy and on the straight and narrow can he dip .4 into the high 19’s and still be in high school we were witnessing world class speed so young and not fully developed. This is special and good for this young man and the running community
I hope he becomes the next USAIN BOLT but the USA version. Imagine if MICHAEL JOHNSON and JUSTIN GATLIN or TYSON GAY teaches him as his coach?
Young man, he's a boy lol
these kids continue to get faster dawg wtf...5 years back it was insane to be 18 and run 20.5 or lower...this is nuts.
They are learning...
He passed the border at 20.20
This dude better get the same praise Boling has when he goes sub 20 in high school
He for sure will
0.20 from Bolt's AG world record.
B R: what does AG mean?
Bolt ran 20.13 at age 16 in 2003
@@truffles6140 Age Group. 20.13 is the world record for the age group.
@@NextGenJay Damn I didn't realize Bolt has always been a monster in the 200
Someguy McGee yeah he’s ran
21.73 at 14
20.58 at 15
20.13 at 16 (which was the = WJR at the time)
19.93 at 17 WJR
19.99 at 18
19.88 at 19
So yeah bolt has been a beast since day one and he’s the only athlete to run sub 20 twice as a junior.
This is crazy fast! Watch for this man in the olympics.
AMAZING! Can't wait to see where he goes from here. Truly exciting for US future talent.
Theres so much insane talent coming out of America right now. Theyve really nailed it by pushing and supporting sports in schools. The UK barely gives a shit about raw talent
Not part of mgx?! And why tf these 16 year olds look like grown ass men 💀
Cell tech plus great genetics
because alot of young black boys mature faster like BIG V said "genetics"
what do you know about MGX ? LOL
Last kid to come out of Florida with this kind of raw talent was Houston McTear. A cautionary tale
You sure? What about Marvin Bracy, Anthony Schwartz, Trayvon Bromell, Noah lyles and his brother was born in Florida but relocated ... what's going on at these Florida Hospitals lol sheesh
Hey we got someone like that in the track and field world for the youth 200m. No it is not bolt. Erriyon knighton is genuinely insane
16y from Asia 20.19 in Qozanov memorial
A new generation of very fast young runners is coming up in the ranks ..... evolution
This guy will break the world record for sure
whos here after him getting 4th place in tokyo
He just ran a 19.49s aged 18...
Absolutelt crazy.
Now if he can keep his head straight and more relaxed down the last 50 might be looking at 20.1 maybe even high 19's. Kid is a monster.
Yes he was chilling
This guy gets it.
@@efisgpr He beat some real big names in the 200m in the recent Tom Jones classic. Plus they said he ran a leg on a 3:00.x 4x400. So that mean he ran somewhere between 44-46 seconds, I couldn't find the relay split.
@@dennisrobinson8008 He ran a 44.6-44.8 leg
@@TheYKBRon omg he represented
That’s mad
Wow. Fair play, keep going.....you're going to the very top.... Sending much luck from ireland 🇮🇪 and Scotland 🏴
He just ran a wind legal 19.49 yesterday. 🏃♂️💨 Like, bruh.
I'm just blown away! This is crazy, if he fixes his head movement at the end and maintains form he will be even better. Can't wait to see this kid killing it in college.
are you a track coach?
🙌🏽🙌🏽gotta give it to him
"Come on Kavar"
COME ON KEVAR
Had me dyin 😂😂😂 literally said it the whole race
I feel like no one is acknowledging the times of the other competitors. These are all stupidly quick times for 15-16 year olds. Knighton is just on another level
It's unbelievable this kid is running these insanely fast times, when I can see tons of improvement needs to be made in his form. It doesn't even look like he's running fully relaxed, which is important to run fastest time. This tells me he has raw talent out of this world, and could very easily become pro with a few form changes and more relaxation. We may be looking at our next USA/World Champion here if he has great coaching and continues to perfect his technique!
idk if its the camera, but at 0:11 seconds it looks like he's going insanely fast lol. Lots of talent tho.
That’s exactly what I thought when I was first watching that part. I see this comment and it’s that exact moment. HE WAS DEFINITELY MOVING!!!!
This is insane 🔥
COME ON COME ON!!!!!
Erriyon Knighton from My Brother's Keeper, NICE!!!!
His Children are very proud of their fathers accomplishement
this beat this year's olympic women's gold medalist.
When I was in high school if you ran the 200 in under 22 seconds that was considered crazy! These kids now my goodness!
Crazy part, a few kids behind him were probably ranked nationally. 😳
1997, St. Charles Illinois, upstate eight conference track meet. Anthony Moormon from Lake Park HS ran a 20.2 200m dash. look it up.
Thats long gone. We living in the now. Give the young man his props. By the way what happen to St. Charles never heard of him running Pro
Actually Anthony M where is he know?
Leah Cooper he ran at Clemson for 2 years and won all American honors 4 times from relays, then transferred to university of Illinois after a coaching change, from what I found he wasn’t a mind blowing sprinter but had some solid times for a college athlete but not pro level
“Come on come on!”
Great run by this kid, hard to believe he's only 16! Back in the 60's I ran a 21.7 at 17 but didn't get below 21.5 after that. Also played football. The only recent HS time I can compare to his is 20.31 by then 18yo Matt Boling. But he was 2 years older as mentioned.
When you're beating the competition by 2 secs you fast AF.
Christan Coleman , Noah lyles , Michael Norman, Grant Holloway , and when this kid turns pro wooooo USA will be winning some golds
THIS KID has the potential of being the next USAIN BOLT.
Does he play another sport? You never know, he might drop track all together if he get's picked up by another sport.
Boling
Uwow that's gr8, 'am a fan now!
Keep it up young man!
He’ll be running 19.xx his senior year in high school 😱
Went pro but already 19.84s. Will definitely challenge for a medal at the Olympics
If you look at it closely in slow motion his body actually first touches the finish line at 20.1 seconds. I don’t do track really but I’m pretty sure that it whenever you touch the finish line not get your body over it. That subtracts a whole .2 seconds which is nice
it’s the torso that determines your time. (chest or shoulder) that’s why you see runners lean their upper body forward and not reach out with their hands or taking a longer stride to get a foot over since that doesn’t determine your time.
These kids run so crazy fast now. Hope he still can improve as a pro. Everyone runs their fastest times early in their careers now, instead of building a long career
@Harry Garrett True and not true. A great example is Frankie Fredericks. Respectable, fast and had a long and consistent career

Brilliant speed for a 16 year old. Well done to you.
Wow this young Brotha is phenomenal...
Awesome!!
Seems like a talented kid. I wonder if he’ll ever make it to a major championship ;)
Fantastic young man best to your bright future!!
16 years old? That’s insane. That’s still two more years of high school left
nobody touching bolt's 100m, but his kid could break his 200m record... will remember the name.
Hasan A. Bolt ran 19.93 at 15 years old....sooo don’t think this guy will touch 200m WR. Plus if you watch the clock in the when bolt ran WR it looks like he ran 18.9ish.
Come on Kevar
He def coming for Noah Lyles
Nah.. Lol
Prob next 3 years
Not for a while
Not when the football is calling, there's just no money in track. This kid will take his talents to the NFL, it's that guaranteed money that alot of these fast athletes go after, just think of Tyreek Hill.
@@gentilewarrior He's already locked down some sort of $$$ potential for track with that kind of record breaking speed at age 16. Every college must be drooling over the chance to give him a full scholarship.
got to love the youthful energy!
Wow. That's impressive as hell
Matt Boling eat your heart ❤️ out. This kid is gunning for you! New national record new number 1 just for starters!
well first off mathew boling isnt scared or you or anybody
john martin great! No one is talking about fear! Let’s try facts called 20:33!!
He already beat Matthew wind legal time
This kid is gunning for EVERYBODY.
By the time he's a HS senior, he should be running close to sub 20 or faster.
We're witnessing a once in a lifetime track phenom in the 200m.
@@chrisharden3270 That is a NO! I'm suspicious of the time, but maybe if he backs it up against real competition.
Well done to this fella super race the first 200 meters he was very quick over 200meters
He's built perfectly for this event. I bet he would make a good 400 meter guy too with a bit of work. I would anchor him on some relays too.
All that cheering for Kevar got him 3rd place and the oh shits had me dying too 💀
Chill on bro he up next 😂💀
Why do I even try
oh my goodness
