Watch Erriyon Knighton breaks Usain Bolt 200m record

Erriyon Knighton, who ran 20.11 to break Usain Bolt’s World U18 record of 20.13 last month, was in sparkling form on Saturday (26 June) in the men’s 200m semi-finals at the US Olympic Trials.

The 17-year-old ran a blistering 19.88 seconds to erase Bolt’s 19.93 world U20 (junior) record.

He signalled his intention in the first round with a then-personal best of 20.04 to beat world champion Noah Lyles, 20.19.
