Is Erriyon Knighton Really Going To Beat Noah Lyles at USAs?

We'll see, we will see. It will be absolutely nuts.

Lyles will probably handle rounds better than Knighton. He should be favorite. Potentially great race between the two, Kerley and Bednarek.

Guy ran a 19.4 in April.....

it comes down to his coaching & training... if Knighton can run a sub 19.7 then that'll speak volumes on his coach... we already know he's super fast... was 19.49 his peak? In April?!?! Scary to think it wasn't but also what kind of coach would be smart enough to train an 18 yr old to run a 19.49 but at the same time make him peak in April of a championships year? Lots of questions.

Knighton's 19.49 is a fabricated fixed time. Having a none sanction meet without a proper timing system is not credible, especially when they purposely ran on the opposite side of the track away from any videoing of the clock is suspicious. So with that said he's not beating Lyles. 🤔

Hot take. Knighton won’t make the team.

Boling will probably never make a 100, 200 or 4x100 relay team, I’d say the 400 relay (mens or mixed if they’re doing that like they did in Tokyo) is his best chance

Boling actually has a shot at the 200 and a very high chance of making the Long Jump

Haven't semi and final always been on the same day at olympics/worlds

Should be a heck of a race. I can’t guess as to who will win? Strongest contingent of mens 200m runners in the world-the good ol US of A! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸

I like Josephus as a sleeper

My goodness. These times are crazy fast.

Knighton looked to be in a class by himself in that April race-scarry fast. I give him a 60% chance of winning. He is an unbelievable talent, but young and a little thin on experience in spite of going to Tokyo.

College sprinters can’t handle these rounds after having already peaked for NCAAs.. Even Randolph Ross is not causing any waves

This is the race of the meet, IMO

THE WORLD 200M FINAL WILL LOOK A LOT LIKE TOKYO,BUT THE FINISHING ORDER WILL BE DIFFERENT,WATCH JOSEPH AND LYLES AND KNIGHTON

Noah got a bye

Agree with Gordon here. Knighton is incredible, but I'm not convinced he can summon a 19-mid time at will quite yet. It's there, but I don't think it's there every day. Lyles WILL run fast. So, he has to be the slight favorite, even while acknowledging that Knighton is certainly capable of winning on his day. I'm just hoping they both run well and stay healthy. Such an awesome 1-2 punch.

Erriyon hasn't run any subsequent deuces for us to gauge his fitness more effectively, so the rounds, hopefully, will provide a clearer picture. Lyles has the experience and the momentum as 19.61 ain't nothing to sneeze at, but I will give Erriyon a slight edge. His 19.49 can't be ignored. He's still 0.11 up on Noah. Finally, Michael Johnson's 19.32 is on notice

This man really picked Boling over Kenny B 😂 losing his credibility with that picked my guy.

Lyles should be the favorite because he is in good form and has the experience. He will run well in the trials. However, this could be the beginning of The Rise of the Knighton. If he runs as consistent as he ran in the Olympic trials he will take it and probably continue to rule the 200 for at least the next decade. You all are under estimating his potential and I believe we are just beginning to see it being unleashed. He already has experience on the big stage and should come relaxed to the trials. I have a feeling we will see some good numbers starting with his first qualifying race.

I like lyes and bowling is a cool fast dude. I’m going with my guy KNIGHTON on this one and will be rooting for him. Let’s go break all the records before 20. Let’s see the world in shock 😮

Gordon is right, Lyles is definitely the favorite over Knighton. Lyles has the track record of performing in championship meets. What is Knighton’s 2nd fastest time? 2nd fastest time is a better predictor of championship performance.

I actually think this is gonna push Noah to PB
& I am truly waiting to see if he does.

I'm going with Knighton. The teen is running fearlessly. Lyles should have been concentrating on the 100M to get around the turn quicker. Knighton will make him realize his error. Either way, it's going to be a fast race and I'm here for it.

FLOTRACK SHOULD TAKE A KEEN INTREST IN JAMAICA 1OOM MALE AT TRIALS!! HEAR OBLIQUE DOING 9.6S IN TRAINING 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨 I CANT WAIT!!!I THINK USAIN IS GOING TO BE SORRY HE DIDNT PUT THE 100M RECORD OUT OF REACH WHEN HE WAS SHOW BOATING!!!

I cant believe Boling is doing the long jump when he hasnt had a decent jump in months. Should just rest for the 200m.
Edit: nevermind just finished the video and saw he is one of 2 americans with the WC standard so he will probably go to worlds unless 2 new guys hit the standard and Boling doesnt place high at USAs.

Noah show a sneak peek of 200m in New York just wait till worlds Eryon was excited early season but he need to put work on the body to be great and compete on top stage

Gordon made the only point that needs to be made. Take away one race from Knights n and this isn't a conversation. Take away one race of Noah's doesn't matter which he's still the favorite

No Noah will show his dominance

What's going on with Terrance Laird?

Knighton the clear favorite. Everyone else can fight for second place.

don't sleep on Kerley

i don't think Kenney B is going to make the team . His 200m times are not where they should be in June ,

Bendarek over Bowling for sure

Pot calling the kettle black. You done the same thing with Matthew Boling. You remember, when you said how many events is he going to win out of the four, during indoor season, and he didn't win any. lmao

Yes!

This is the greatest dueĺ in American track and field in recent years....
God bless both of them..

all these comments of Knighton winning is what Noah saw and fueled him. and both lyles made the team.
