19.31 is an absolutely phenomenal 200m time, seems like he should focus on that as he’d almost definitely win Olympic gold with a good race.Not sure what’s prompted this thread but he’s nowhere near Bolt‘s 9.58 for the 100m WR as Lyles’s PB is 9.86.
He might have more chance over the 200m given he’s run the fourth fastest time ever, 19.31.
If Fred Kerley, Erriyon Knighton and Lyles all get to the World Championships final then we could see something special.19.31 is an absolutely phenomenal 200m time, seems like he should focus on that as he’d almost definitely win Olympic gold with a good race.
Bloody hell. I’d not heard of Knighton, but Wikipedia says he ran a 19.49 200m aged 18! That could be an absolute corker of a final.If Fred Kerley, Erriyon Knighton and Lyles all get to the World Championships final then we could see something special.
That’s assuming they all get through the US Track and Field trials which is no guarantee.Bloody hell. I’d not heard of Knighton, but Wikipedia says he ran a 19.49 200m aged 18! That could be an absolute corker of a final.
Fair point. I don't know what his competition is like for a place, but given the strength of US track and field it will probably be quite high.That’s assuming they all get through the US Track and Field trials which is no guarantee.
