It’s every bit possible that the fastest teenager in the world might break the world record set by the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt. Ever since Erriyon Knighton ran 200m in 19.49 seconds this spring and broke the world record set by the Jamaican legend, the comparison between the two has been all over the media. Hence, the 2022 world athletics championships at Oregon is a good opportunity for him to show his capabilities.

To give you a brief introduction, Erriyon Knighton is the fastest teenager of all time. He was an Olympics finalist last season at just 17, and he has run the fastest 200m time in 2022. It’s been five years since the track legend Usain Bolt bid farewell to the sport in the 2017 world championship in London. However, it’s the first time that fans, experts, and former Olympians believe that someone can actually break his world record.

Fans are rooting for Erriyon Knighton to break Usain Bolt’s record ahead of the race

Ahead of the 200m finals at the world athletics championship in Oregon, fans have already declared Knighton the champion. Additionally, most of them believe he is going to break Usain Bolt’s world record very soon. Some of the fan reactions are mentioned below:

Some of them are even eager to bet on Knighton to break Bolt’s record in the 200m dash.
