Erriyon Knighton (born January 29, 2004) is an American sprinter specializing in the 100 meters and 200 meters. Quotes Everything happened so fast with my career, That was my first year as a professional, and I made an Olympic team. A lot of people work hard their whole lives to make it. It just came so fast for me that I couldn't even think about it. If I had a chance to switch my career, 10 times out of 10, I'd be an F1 driver, No doubt. I just put in the work and became that guy that everybody talks about, Sometimes, it’s 110 degrees outside, and you don't want to be outside, you just want to go home. All the work that I put in is getting recognized. It feels good knowing that I’m in a conversation with one of the greatest of all-time, But I never really look at it as if I'm hiding in his shadow. Just making an Olympic team at such a young age was insane, knowing that I can compete with those guys on the next level. I was the youngest in the field, A lot of people didn't have me making it out of the first round. I’m not really a school person,I did make good grades, though. I'm trying to figure out how to put more into this, I’m really focusing on knowing what I’m doing instead of stepping on the track and just running. Once I get the focus part down, then I can really make some magic happen on the track.
