At age 20, Erriyon Knighton has broken countless records, including Usain Bolt's longtime under-20 record in the 200m race —  13 times over.

Here are some of the track and field star's accomplishments.

How did Erriyon Knighton do in college?

Despite receiving multiple scholarship offers from top football programs across the country, in his junior year of high school, Erriyon Knighton decided to focus on track and field, signing a professional contract at age 16 and foregoing any amateur eligibility he had left.

How many Olympics has Erriyon Knighton been to?

At age 17, Erriyon Knighton competed in his first Olympic Games in Tokyo, becoming the youngest U.S.-born man to compete in the sport since Jim Ryun in 1964. 

How many medals has Erriyon Knighton won?

After placing fourth in the 200m race in Tokyo, Erriyon Knighton left the tournament empty handed.

However, Knighton is a two-time world medalist at the distance, earning bronze in 2022 and silver in 2023. His third-place finish in 2022 earned him the title of youngest sprinter medalist in world championship history. He was only 18.

He also won the 2023 U.S. Championships, clocking a time of 19.72-seconds to earn his first national title at 19 years old.

He has broken Usain Bolt’s U-20 record 13 times, and he is the fifth-fastest ever in the event behind Bolt, Yohan Blake, Noah Lyles — who has beaten Knighton out for gold in several competitions and will likely be a fierce competitor once again in Paris — and Michael Johnson.
