I'm from Botswana, thank you for always showing Letsile Love and appreciation. Been following this channel before Tebogo came into the spot light.. we thank you ❤
Credit where credit is due! Tebogo being the absolute monster that he is, absolutely deserves it! All the love to Botswana from Turkey! 🇧🇼🇹🇷
@@flammabletoast5820 United we are, we appreciate the support and love for athletics. 💕🇧🇼❤️🔥🔥🇹🇷
My absolute favorite athlete and I'm glad he is doing well for Botswana.
I had also loved the guy who did pushups after his 400s 😅😅😅 Makwala. Takes alot to be able to do pushups after an intense 400m sprint.
Unfortunately he couldn't medal at World's or Olympics but now there is Tebogo.
Hey fam. shout out from Your captives in America, we love you over here. Protect that young man.
Please credit the team.. They got silver and almost gold in the 4x400
I do like erriyon knighton, but tebogo is the man at the moment.he will definitely take that diamond league 200m race.and run a fast time.
I don't think Knighton is going anywhere faster and I predicted he would fizzle out two years ago when Lyles edged him out and pointed at him. Think about it, at 17 he runs 19.49. The next race he runs losing to Lyles something like 19.68. I don't think he's equaled those times since. Look at Tabogo. He's got a good sense of humor that will soften the down times in the future. Mark my words, he will become an interesting interview if he keeps improving and I think he could very well become the face of track if he closes in on Bolt!
Lyle's will win. Plain and simple.
@@jsigur157 Lyle's is evil for that 💀
He was the man in that one race. That doesn't somehow change you into the man consistently from then on.
@@jsigur157he hasn't run in a long time, if he was able to have a normal season he could easily have won that race, especially with noah being off.
Tibogo is a prodigious talent! He could threaten the 400M World Record and go sub 43 seconds.
Yes!
no way he's touching that 400m record. rest
@@francisasiedu6969he definitely could if he focuses on just the 400 and doesn’t run the 100 or 200
@@dr.p.withdgospelBut why would he?
@@dr.p.withdgospel
Yes I agree. But he won't. His ego will have him doing battle with Lyles and he won't realize his true calling. The 200/400. He should forget the 100. He will never win gold there.
Tebogo is still very young, can't wait to see what he dose in the coming years.
and erriyon knighton isnt young?
@@wiiiz3 he didn't say that...
@@wiiiz3 Can't wait to see what Knighton Dose

@@wiiiz3
Young and forced-ripe with "tainted oxtail"...
Wait til the AIU is done with him...
Tebogo is so gifted one of the very few guys that can run elite level @ the 100,200 and the 400
Botswana has some speed. Their 4x400 team did great at the Olympics
So true especially for a small nation of 2.5M. Just amazing!
Absolutely, I think the other 3 on the team are getting slept on a little bit. The overall time was a 2:54.xx. Even with Tebogo's 43.04 split if the other 3 runners averaged 44.00 Botswana would have got a 2:55.04 if my math is correct. Since they were under this time it means that the other 3 (not including Tebogo's 43.04 to bring the average down) averaged under 44.00 between the three of them, & that includes one of those legs being from blocks without a moving start. All 3 of them are close to if not already Olympic/WC 400m final caliber or close to it.
I did not expect anyone to even be within 50 metres of the US team and I wasn't expecting the silver medalist to be Botswana either. I was thinking it would be UK with Dobson and Hudson Smith.
They did very very well considering how much global championship experience the US 4 by 4 relay team has. I seriously think if anyone else had done the anchor leg besides Rai (with the exception of Quincy Hall) they would have lost to Tebogo in the final straight.
@@richardgallimore597644,3 - 43,4 - 43,8 - 43,0
@@richardgallimore5976 The other Botswana relay members, Ndori ran an opening leg of 44.30, Collen Kebinatshapi (second leg ) split 43.39, he is 20 years of old and set a new PB of 44. 43 in the 400m semis where he didn't reach the finals, Anthony Pesela (3rd leg) split 43.80.. note Pesela has struggled to break sub 45 this season and his PB of 44.58 was set in 2021 at the U-20 World Champs..He has potential if he can stay focus he can be a sub 44 runner in two years'time
Tebogo has well & truly levelled up past Knighton over the last 12 months! Will be interesting to see how Kerley who typically doesn't run great 200s does in that race. Also looking forward to how Femke performs in her first 400mH race post OLY Final as well as the 400m Final rematch between Hall, MHS & Samukonga.
Femke is a great European but I think she's peaked in the 400 hurdles and the one to watch out for was the American who came in 2nd
@@jsigur157 24yr old Femke hasn't peaked in the 400mH, simply got the Final wrong by trying to run Syd's race instead of her own race & blew up in the last 100m as a result! Still think she's capable of replicating the 50.95 she ran at altitude at sea level at some point. 27yr old Anna C who came in 2nd in a 51.87 PB looked very good but is still 0.57s away from Femke's best sea level time of 51.30! The one to watch out for is 22yr old Jasmine Jones who came in 4th in a 52.29 PB cos she lowered that time down from 56.17 in just her 1st full yr running the event!
Good comment, you did your homework.
Knighton has had to stop doping
@@Wonderkid44 doping didn't help him one bit
You missed Michael Johnson's 19.32 in your fastest 200m list
I was thinking this also!
Wasn't he on some drugs?
Edit: I confused him for Marion Jones for some reason, my bad.

I want Tebogo to briefly rest and focus on the 400m and break the world record! He can do it!
If he couldn’t beat that time with a flying start what on earth makes you think he’ll go faster off the blocks?
You must be talking about 2028, no way you think he’s breaking the 400 record anytime soon. 🤔
@@abone2pickhe's the 300 world record holder, he ran 3 rounds of 100/200 and the heats of the 4x400m in Paris. And also he's 21 years old
@@footballvidshd5421 even with fresh legs and more maturity u are not gonna beat your relay split off the blocks… Michael Norman ran 43.03 split at 22 but never got near world record …I think if tebogo can break 19.32 on the 200 then he has a shot at breaking Michael Johnson 43.18 mark but 43.03 will not go anywhere
Im so proud of Tebogo, I pray he runs 19.3. It's possible for him. He's HIM
I definitely think he could do that this year
@@t.g.n
One of them is going to throw down a time to shock the world. In the next 3 years. Its a good rivalry. Because I want to see at least someone split the Jamaicans 19.19 and 19.26. I don't care if its Tebogo or Lyles. So long as someone does it.
@@jsigur157 Tebogo is not coming anywhere near 19.30, let alone Bolt's 19.19.
At best, he might get to 19.39, but that's about it.
@@Kipchoge475Too early to say that he will get it or even that he won't get it. He's got much more upward potential than 19.39, I think you're trolling to be honest. I'm not going to call 19.19 but he can go sub 19.3 to low 19.3 at least.
@@Kipchoge47519.39 is a 19.3
I think you need pressure to run those super fast times. Tobogo always eases up when no one is close. It depends on his competition.
Tebogo will be unbeatable in the 200m ,for the rest of the season.who agree?
No...
Depends. Do you think he is going to run under 19.6 in every race? Lyles will want to show the world he really was sick in Paris. Don't forget that.
@@stevemann1299he will never recover from Covid
If he doesn't race lyles yes
@@stephentrader9142 Knighton gets more races in, he can beat him and so can kenny.
Vs Erriyon Knighton😂😂
I'm more interested in seeing what a 9.81 Fred and a 43.7 Jereem will run
Are you a Trinidadian?
💯 Knighton seems a tad deflated and is dealing with a possible 4 year ban. He's got a lot on his mind.
@2:23 Why is Michael Johnson not on the list of fastest 200m athletes of all time?
Was coming to the comments to ask the sane question.
Also coming to the comments for this. This channel is suspect already. Lot of click bait in my opinion.
Tebogo needs to silence the critics by beating Lyles healthy. Lyles needs to proove it was covid by bouncing back.
THIS IS EXCITING
2:26 Michael Johnson WTF
Literally came to say the exact same thing
Same here...had me question if I understood what the term "top 5 fastest times" means.
How’s that possible
19.32
Most of those records were not naturally made so him getting left off isn't a big deal
You missed Michael Johnson out your 200m top 5 fastest :O
I’ve been waiting for Knighten to get out of his shell. I feel Lyles progress and dominance has affected him and Tebogo doesn’t have to worry about much competition in his arena.
But Tebogo is on a tear since his dominant 200 in the Olympics so this next 200 will show who’s in charge this year.
If he takes his doping test on time and stop dodging from officials
@@Faceindirectwho are you referring to?
@@_CMm Knighton
I really appreciate the effort you make in pronouncing his name. Also your videos always on point 🇧🇼🙏🏾
I’m just looking forward to Diamond League Final; I know some people are gonna want to get their get back on. Lyles in the 200, Coleman, Thompson, and Simbine in the 100, Hudson-Smith , James, and Richards in the 400m, Ingy in the 1500m, and more. Hell, I think Kerley could run another 9.7 before the season ends since he’s back in them Nike’s.
Hudson Smith, James and Richards are there but you cant forget Hall and Samukonga.
Where’s the Sifan Hassan celebration video? She was one of the stars of the Olympics. I feel like we need a video celebrating the amazing feat that she just pulled off
Letsile Tebogo running 200 meter at La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland at perfect conditions will be wery dangorus for the WR, and the same if he runs in Nairobi at peak condition, so if they realy want Bolts WR, then peak at good time for the fastest tracks in the world, and that WR will go!
I don't think he gets wr in 200 this year. Maybe next year or by 2027/28
@@stephentrader9142 u can see into the future?
-Usain Bolt
Tebogo will win. I was impressed and amazed that he came back to competition after recently losing his mother. That sort of loss will kick you to the kerb but he made it his mission to achieve Gold for her. So many channels asking if such-and-such runner will go faster right now and mostly I think our expectations for faster times are unlikely to be fulfilled with everyone peaking for the Olympics, but Tebogo might actually run faster because he's clearly in the best form of his life and has already held his form for so long this year.
Tebogo now is more mentally stronger, he beat Noah at the Olympic stage now he is the one with the crown, I don’t see anyone beating him in the next 4 years if he continues healthy!
He is the new 200 meter superstar!
Tebogo beat Lies twice in 200m Paris 2024!
I'm excited to see how Lyles responds the next time they match up, but i honestly think comparing their ages, you guys give the edge to Tebogo on who's carrying the torch moving forward.
In the next 4 years ...what do you mean? A clean record with no losses or like victories whenever it really matters? Not a single loss is a bit too much I'd say.
Tenogo, that's excellent. To do that with tired legs is amazing. Well deserved!🎉🎉
Tebogo had a hamstring strain in the 200m race in Budapest
Is nobody gonna talk about how much of a beast Sifan Hassan is? She ran a 5000 heat on the 2nd, got bronze in the 5000 final on the 5th, then got bronze in the 10000 on the 9th and came back 2 DAYS LATER to WIN the marathon! Suddenly running 3 rounds of the 100m doesn't sound so hard!
Im from Botswana 🇧🇼 and i was there when Tebogo arrived with the olympic team
that was a beautiful homecoming welcome
I hope sponsors snatch him up. He deserves everything.
@@Nickster7 yeah a couple of companies rewarded him with a lot of money I think he made just around 5million bucks just from different entities acknowledging his massive performance and some are still coming up to support him
Locally
But the boy s major deals are from Nike and Tag Heuer
I feel like people are sleeping on Knighton. He'll be more rested and he is probably the best turn runner on the planet behind maybe only Noah.
I can see Tebogo running 19.36 on fresh legs. Permitting No headwind , no rain, and running hard through the finish line. +1.0 or better. Kerley isn't an elite 200 runner in comparison the top tierathletes, but I can see him going 19.70 with Tebogo and Knighton to catch
2:27 Michael Johnson would like a word
If he doesn't shut down were seeing a 19.25
Tebogo had hard year, losing motivation towards practice for a bit due to death in family earlier in the year. Could not make any declaration from his times in 23 compared to 24. Though he did PB on all 3 distances this year, all of them in Olympics so clearly he IS in shape of his life. Just thinking there could be potential for him to be WR guy, on both 200 and 400.
Good video 👍👍 Tebogo definitely deserves the spotlight for his Olympic achievements
Remember Tebogo was injured in the 2023 race😂,nobody beating Tebogo this year
Lyles is the only one capable of beating tebogo over 200. Nobody else stands a chance
@@stephentrader9142 lol well I'd say Kung Fu Kenny not that clown
@@tlamelokgosimalebe3119I love Tebogo, he's the future in the 200 and 400 also if he wants but if there's someone to beat him it's Lyles. You have to be somewhat honest at least.
@@tlamelokgosimalebe3119 nah kenny has never run faster than 19.46
@@stephentrader9142 he has never but it don't mean,he will never
Knighton and Kerley won’t even be a factor. Tebogo will win easily, predicting 19.52 (would love to predict faster than 19.46 though!) for the win. Anyway, who cares about this or the stacked 400m, the best race (that sadly isn’t on the program) is going to be Duplantis vs. Warholm 100m! I’m going with Duplantis winning that in 10.38!
When is the meet please and will it be televised here in the States?
@@erniemoorer5103 Well it's on Thursday the 22nd of August, but I don't know what time it'll be on where you are. Just search the meet and schedule up and you should find something. Now, I'm not American so I don't know who's streaming it but I'd expect NBC or someone; I'm watching it on the BBC (in Britain).
I think Knighton is still gonna grow into the sport. Only time will tell on both though. I definitely think Tebogo is on an absolute tear right now though and this meet and whats coming into the next year may see more records fall. As much as i'd love to see Lyles keep chipping his numbers down, i think its possible he's at or near his plateau. Covid can really be a massive detriment to his strength long term. I hope it doesnt, but we'll see. I think Tebogo has the strength to do what no man has ever done before, and i think he'll set another pb at this meet, but next year we should expect to see crazy records fall.
Tebogo probably goin smoke but hats off to knighton for having such a difficult season with the drugs business and all
Letsile celebrated early at the Olympics in the 200m final, so for sure he can go faster than that PB
So glad Tebojo has taken attention away from Lyles and the Jamaicans
Tebogo is a beast at every short distance
If all 3 guys can maintain their composure, this is gonna be a VERY fast race. It might be nearer to Usain Bolt's record than you think
Damn🔥I think its fair to say we have athletically peaked as humans
You made me smile😊
One positive thing for Knighton coming out of the Olympics is that with everyone heralding Tebogo as the future of sprinting, that will probably drive Knighton even more, which is good for the 200m event
Knighton will ve banned for doping.
I was gonna say the same thing
These Diamond league races are great, but there is a way I want Tebogo to get some rest… 2-3 months before the start of the 2025 season.
I think he can go unbeaten in the 200m and beat 19.3 seconds in that season.
He has made us think he can consistently beat Lyles 😅 and not just because of the Olympics, but how he closed him down in London last year. For me, that’s the day I knew he was going to be something in the 200m.
Bro where do yall get this videos of Tebogo dancing, they funny as hell 😂
People keep talking about fresher legs meaning a faster time, but there is definitely something to be said for the focus of trying to be in your peak condition for days in a row at the biggest of all track meets. I think there is a reason so many records are broken during the Olympics and World Championships in the sprinting disciplines. The adrenaline and these types of competitions seem to bring out the best in many competitors.
Hey
The 100 and 200 and 400 are all about the hype and the adrenaline, you're right. Diamond League and other meets usually get WR's in the distance disciplines.
Assemble the best men or women in the world in the 100, put an Olympic gold at stake and eternal glory and a chance to etch your name down in history and you will get the fastest possible times there are. Of course there will be folks who run faster earlier in the season like Omanyala and others at obscure meets but that's the exception not the norm.
And all the adrenaline outweighs the impact of the heats and rounds significantly, especially in the 100m.
True it can work for certain individuals or alternatively work against certain athletes-For others it can mean accumulation of fatigue whereas for others kind of enhance or perfect their performance
I live in Switzerland and attended Athletissima in Lausanne on many occasions. It's not usually at a Diamond League event near the end of the season, especially after the Olympic games, that records are meant to be broken. The best performances happen during finals of Olympics and World championships.
Tbh I have been quite disappointed with Knighton, after seeing him run 19.49 as an 18 yr old I expected to see more from him, but his times haven't been all that impressive since. Hopefully it changes at some point
It's either him or his coaching ... Something isn't right
Big props to you for the way you changed your pronunciation of "Tebogo" & corrected it from Te-bo-GO...!
The people need to know how to pronounce his name correctly. He is definitely leading the "new generation" of sprinting...🇧🇼⚡🥇👍
Noah fresh will put 2 bodies and some in front of tobogo in the 200 but no one is ready for that conversation. Y’all don’t realize Noah is more angry than ever and has been trying to get major attention to track and field. Heavy is the crown.
Do you really think Noah would have ran sub 19.40?
😂😂😂
@@SB38506 without the 100.. more possible than anyone in the world 🌎 so maybe
I think he will run a fast opening 100m but if he sees that he's got a big lead at around 150m, he will probably slow down and not run at 100% all the way to the finish line. He's known to do that, after all. However, if there is indeed someone close to him by 150m and he keeps going hard, I think we could see another sub 19.50 from him, possibly faster than his 19.46 PR but not by much.
See I just want noah lyles to go up against tebogo in good health
Don't worry. The fire is coming these two are gonna blow the 200m times apart.
Noah could be there but he's not and I also think handler's would be careful about facing such a threat. I expect them to face each other once this year after the Olympics
Tebojo is coming for the throne. 300m WR
100m Gold , 21 yr of age. He could definitely challenge the 400m next.
I truly appreciate the support people ❤️ are giving to our own Tebogo Letsile I am truly proud of our fellow African brothers n sisters big ups guys......shout out from me Tebogo Letsile Mokgware......peace ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 Diamond 💎 league is ours 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 🇧🇼 🇧🇼
Michael Johnson not on the 200 m all time list anymore?
With the right coach Tebogo is unstoppable ❤😮
Noah Lyles answering questions after the race, " It's about me! I was sick! My asthma kicked in! My mama was too far away!!!! I would have won!!!!
The time between 3rd and first is so minute that even an extremely minor sickness is enough to do it. Let alone covid. Even a simple cold would be enough for someone to lose. If Tebogo had covid, he would have been down in 5th place.
@rdizzy1 Exactly, what some people are also forgetting is Noah has also beaten Tebogo on every occasion when he was healthy and not sick including the 100m Olympic Final, the London Diamond League races last year and this year and all throughout the Budapest World Championships last year. As great as Tebogo's victory was, it will be interesting to see if he can beat a healthy Noah in the future consistently.
@@TheWayWithKhuwayne Nobody has beaten Lyles till last week but Tabago got much faster this year and Lyles hasn't matched his PB in three years. I don't think he has broken 19.5 since his PB Also, Thompson is going 200 next year. His face lit up when it was brought up. It's up for Lyles to take it to a new level. I expect the two to meet one more time this year as leaders don't tend to race their best competition very often
@@rdizzy1 He ran a very fast 2nd 100. Really not sure he was very sick, note that he was totally recovered 24 hours afterr the race
@@jsigur157 Actually no he wasn't. He had the medal ceremony 24 hours before and still was wearing a mask so he still was recovering from Covid. Covid affected him in the second half of his Olympics.
Young lyles had similar 100m progression as young Tebogo
9.88 to 9.86....
100 is tebogo weakest race at the moment as he said it is more technical. Tebogo could run the 400 in sub 44 if he actually tried
@@stephentrader9142I think he needs to run more of that. 4 & 2 like MJ
@@_CMmThis. He should switch to the 200 and 400. We've seen what he did to the 300. I don't think he can make serious grounds on even Tyson Gay and Blake in the 100 much less Bolt.
In the 200m I think he can at least get to a sub 19.3 and maybe somehow I don't know break Blake's 19.26. In the 400m, it's a guarantee with a year of training he can do 43.6 at least. Give him 2 or 3 years of focus and if he avoids injury he can start making 43.4 a routine event.
@_CMm I agree. Then again if he gets the 100 right he might be able to win the 1, 2, and 4
Im going to say it, hard work and blessed genes!
He has become unstoppable, not after that win. It was a confidence booster for him. He is just 21 making him a potential 200m and 400m WR holder.
I see at least, one record falling in coming years between 100m,200m and 400m by Letsile Tebogo. A very special young talented man
You forgot Michael Johnson's 19.32 counting men's 200 m all-time list.
The only reason Tebogo lost in Budapest he was injured with a grade 1 muscle tear....he ran the 200m final I jured the doctor said he shouldnt run but he ran just to finish the double and got bronze...
Congrats to Tebogo once again !
Not time to sleep on Lyles
Yeah, if he had pushed Tebogo to his limit a 19.2* would emerge.tebogo has more strength though since he can maintain power for 100m more. For now ,he is training on breaking a wr without saying so. A fast curve would destroy everyone else hopes at victory .He only needs a 9.9 curve to break the wr
@@ashleymusihiwa A 9.9 curve will make the next 100 slower. A curve is also run slower than a straight so a 9.86 100m straight runner can't really run a 9.9x curve, 10.0x at best. Bolt could run a 9.9x curve & still finish because 9.9x on a curve is like 9.7x~9.8x on a straight speed & since he can do 9.58 straight he can run that speed without completely dying at the end. Whether it's Lyles or Tebogo I think they'll minimum need 9.7x 100m speed (so Lyles has gotten there, but barely at 9.79) & then they'll want to do a 10.00/9.18 split to get the record imo. Or even 10.05/9.13. Any split under 10.00 when that's basically their max speed around the corner would end up in a 19.50+ race I think due to not being able to keep the speed (maybe 19.30+ for tebogo has he has better speed endurance than Lyles being the 300m WR holder).
You missed Michael Johnson on the all time 200m fastest times
Just realised everyone else has said this also
Now imagine Tebogo was american
Damn with the dope guys like noah and Knighton get and are allowed to compete even with positive tests imagine what he’d run if he was ROID ERIYON
😂😂😂
Damn stupid comment
Tebogo is the GREATEST talent in athletics (only to rival him are young mondo and niels laros)
He litterly can run 9:6 highs, maybe challenge the 200 and 400 wr’s respectfully with great preparation
He is aswell so smooth defenetly the smoothest sprinter ever.
The range is just incredible and has never been seen before such a fast 400’ athlete who basically won a 100m silver and two world 100m titles in age groups and is a WR holder over this distance
Tebogo the man of the moment!
Fifth fastest of all time...you forgot Michael Johnsons 19.32s at the 96 Atlanta games. But what is more impressive is that it is the fourth fastest winning time in the Olympic games...19.32 Johnson, 19.30, 19.39 Bolt, and 19.46 Tebogo!
Bolt ran 19.32 as well.
Lyles 2nd half time being under 9.3 sec again tells me that a psychological lift if he had won would have kept him off the ground and out of the wheel chair.
I think Noah Lyles is genuinely scared of him.
Bro,plz make video about how to qualify in European games and european athletic championship seperately?? And keep it up u r doing nice work..
idk bro... idk... at this point, Let the guy run. He was born to do this.
Michael Johnson's 400 split split in the Olympics was 42.9!
Imagine Tabogo test negative
Tebogo is a phenom for sure.
19.35
Healthy or not I don’t think Lyles was beating Tebogo
Well done Tebogo
The Tobogo - Lynes rivalty is interesting and everything but maybe you should do a video on the women's 1500m Olympic event where Faith Kipyegon won her 3rd consecutive gold medal before the next Diamond Leaue tournament.
Botswana’s first ever Olympic medal? Didn’t Amos win silver behind rudisha in 2012?
Gold
Thanks so much for the wonderful coverage as aways.
Please cinsider to do a post on African sports with a focus on sprinting and also on other disciplines and highight women as well.
Please consider the same for other nations and continents as well.
I'm guessing he'll run a 19.32
I have a question. This for anyone who wants to answer it...why in God's green earth would you want to slow down in an Olympic Finals race? Olympics is the Pinnacle of track and field.. why would you not want to give your absolute best. I understand why you don't do it in some meaningless meet but the Olympic Finals? C'mon bro!
Is there any news on the front of Knighton's investigation, or is it still ongoing? That kind of thing can wear on your mental perpetration for running.
AIU appealed and he is facing 4 years if found guilty. They waited until the day of the 200m final to notify him too
I always have questioned that 19.49. It's suspicious
@EythorWestman i dunno, it's about as suspicious as Michael Norman's inability to run sub 44 again. To me if you're going to cheat, you'd do it when it counts. What would a 19 year old have to gain by doping once knowing you'll be missing the next 4 years when you're probably going to be hitting your stride as a professional then?
Walter Dix running 19.53 7th fastest time ever and coming 2nd is crazy lol.
Only Usain Bolt, Michael Johnson, and Yohan Blake ran faster 200 meter times IN THE OLYMPICS!!
19 .29 if he runs right through
Isn’t Michael Johnson’s 19.32 seconds missing from Men’s 200 All Time List?
2:25 Andrew you forgot about Michael Johnson 😅
I think he's definitely got it in him to crack into the top 2 all time in the 200m, I don't think it will be this year. He'll be on a come down from the high of the Olympics and it'll take some rest and relaxation before we start seeing these kinds of improvements from him.
I like Knighton but personally I think this time Tebogo has it. Maybe he can go even faster than Olympics or around 19.4/5 so if Knighton doesn't drop a PR he ain't catching him this time.
Good battle though, I already know! 😂😅
The AIU appeal against Knighton will be interesting.
I noticed that you left out Michael Johnson from the 5 fastest 200m runners.
2:26 you forgot Michael Johnson in this list
1:10.. Lyles had covid..c'mon 😅you know...we all know, he would have won
Nothing worse than making escuses
@@crabb9966 how is covid not a good excuse
@@qekruxt5089 covid in two olympic finals?
He hasn't gone under 10.5 in three years
I think Tebogo still would have won honestly, though Lyles would likely have been close & got silver instead of Bronze.
Lol, KNIGHTON will surely be withdraw. His story isn't over...
The "tainted oxtail" guy...😊
He's ready, just depends on the wind. That being said, they all have something to prove post olympics.
