Erriyon Knighton, faster than lightning
At 18, the American, engaged in the semi-finals of the 200m in Eugene on the night of Monday to Tuesday, is holder of the 4e all-time world performance in the 200m (19”49). At the same age, Usain Bolt ran in 19”93.

Even if he does not make an obsession of it, Erriyon Knighton could well become the first man to descend under 19 seconds over 200 m.

With Usain Bolt, we believed we had seen the greatest humanity could produce in terms of athletic performance: 9.58 in the 100m, 19.19 in the 200m. Then Erriyon Knighton arrived. On April 30, 2022, in the deserted stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he ran the 200 m in 19”49 (+1.4 m/s of favorable wind), the fourth performance of all time, behind Bolt, of course, Blake (19”26) and Michael Johnson (19”32).
