The teenage sensation who can run as fast as lightning is here! A young American diver named Erriiyon Knighton is making waves in the world of sports. BIRTHDAY: January 29, 2004, in Tampa, Florida. AT THE AGE OF 19, HE IS ALREADY SETTING RECORDS. Knighton is very good at the 100-meter and 200-meter events. At 6 feet 3 inches, he is tall for a sprinter. Being tall gives him a longer stride, which helps him when he is sprinting. HIS WAY INTO ATHLETICS IS VERY INTERESTING. He began running track and field when he was a freshman at Hillsborough High School in Tampa, Florida, in 2019.Football was another skill he had that made many teams want to sign him as a wide receiver. HE COULD HAVE STAYED AT HILLSBOROUGH HIGH FOR TWO MORE YEARS OF AMATEUR COMPETITION, BUT HE CHOSE TO FOCUS ON TRACK AND FIELD AND BECAME A PROFESSIONAL IN JANUARY 2021. THERE MAY BE PEOPLE WHO CAN END THE GREAT USAIN BOLT! Two new spinners, Erriiyon Knighton and Julien Alfred, are breaking records and beating the greats! WOULD THEY BE THE FASTEST ATHLETES IN THE WORLD? Let's find out!
