hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be breaking down what
happened between erriyon knighton and noah lyles i'm going to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your validity quick we break
down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so this was a crazy race between erriyon knighton the young 200 meters kind
of specialist right he's been having a lot of success in 200 meter did great in the
heats in the semifinals we had noah lyles has had a long history of being dominant within the
200 meters with world champion also olympic champion and so there ends up being it seems
like at the end there's a bit of a rivalry between these two now uh they definitely seem like they're
gonna be going at each other world championships can't wait for that and really i think what ended
up happening here i i almost feel like all that happened within the end of the the race just
really sets arian knighton to be able to really make some some big adjustments some big changes
and make the change that he needs to do to be able to potentially win the 200 meter we'll just
have to see what ends up happening there but i want to go deeper into what happened in the race
that caused noah lyles to win so we're going to see coming around the turn right and when we
see this we see that erriyon knight is way ahead and we've seen this basically the entire time
through the heats through the semis no allow i mean uh area 9 just hits that turn so incredibly
well and so what we want to be able to see is we're going to go into this last 100 some of
the information that we could get on this last hundred and what stands out is if we look to see
the leg cycles right so we're gonna say off the ground at three four here
on the ground at seven one okay on the yeah that was the right leg okay around seven one
and then he's back off at about you know the
probably seven eight seven nine so he's really quick with his foot contact right maybe about
07. let's just say that okay and then we'll compare that to no lyles will go right leg as well
a little bit longer with his foot contact we're going to say we'll say 80 here
and then hitting the ground this is probably when he's just starting to get going at about
one four okay so he's at point three four right in comparison to being able to get closer to 0.37
with area 9. so area 9 is just taking a little bit longer stride okay and then we see closer to the
end here what happens is no allyls 0.33 seven three um point three eight whatever somewhere
in there okay but that that's what what the big change was okay and and there's a i think a couple
things that ended up happening we'll go here two we'll go with area nine four six just we can get
the full scope of what ended up happening uh this one was was maybe eight six so i've seen
these ones closer to you know because i did this before you know i saw a lot of them that were
closer to like .37 there was a couple of them that were 0.34 right and and usually these are
end up being in increments of three so that's why you're gonna get because they're they're capturing
at about uh yeah three hundredths of a second here so we'll go 0.00 on this one right so this one
he ran he lands like about 0.36 maybe 0.38 so he's typically you know a little bit closer to um
you know that .37.38 you know a couple of them might have been a little bit longer okay and the
point is is that noah lyles went from here closer to 0.34 so not nearly as long with this stride
to then be able to really open up his stride right to be able to catch area nighting okay
and then we can even see for contact time probably about the same type of thing so you
just has great endurance right so we're looking here boom .88 okay off the ground you know before
9 8 you know probably around that 0.08 time period okay and we'll see area nighting 0.98
he's about off the ground there too but i would say he he's probably closer to you know point
one you know maybe 0.09 where i'd say no lyles is probably 0.08.09 okay so he's getting a good
amount of distance per step and he's spending not very much time on on the ground there so he's
first coming out of the curve you can see you know 0.26 or maybe we'll get a little bit further down
okay he's here boom one six off the ground you know pretty quick maybe about .09
okay but then when he gets later on into the race
what ends up happening is he loses some of that foot contact time okay 0.83
okay he's about off at nine three we could see his like foot still on the ground in
comparison to it being fully off right so even if and then if we go nine three here
to touching back on the ground at 3-0 okay so that's closer to 0.37 right go to this one so he's
at 0.20 here okay swings through hits the ground 0.56 okay so he kind of shortened up his stride
okay he might have gotten nervous he might have gotten tired i think part of it had to do
with the fact that he is doing this a lot right where we see him get way out in front in these
races right in in the heats right he gets way out in front of these tur on these curves and then he
just kind of coasts right he doesn't really have to run this whole time okay so i think when he
got here and he got you know really had to run i think he kind of shorted himself up a little bit
okay you can see like look at the difference between no allows how much extension he's getting
out in front right where he's landing he's getting that pull back down underneath so he's fresh
his legs are still underneath them very very well right where you can see ariana knighton is landing
a lot further out in front of him he's not nearly as good or we could even get the the closer view
right look at how his foot's coming more out in front of him
okay where noah allows is running closer to right underneath him
it's not a huge difference but it's enough of a difference where you can see that it
it takes a toll right a little bit longer for contact okay a little bit shorter stride length
okay and that's important when it comes to like some of these long erasers like the 400 meter
right you almost want to have more stride right it's greater to have a little bit longer stride
but when it comes to like the you know 200 meter it's kind of in between 100 meter you want to be
really fast with that leg cycle so guys that are running the 100 meter closer to typically you know
0.33 right maybe if you're a little bit taller can get into 0.36 again this is typically what we're
looking at this in in the the 300th of a second so you know we're somewhere in there 0.33 to 0.36
where it looks like with the 200 meters we're between 0.37 to 0.40 okay and and so being able to
maintain that and still be able to cycle and get that foot underneath you so if we start to shorten
up right if we have a great leg cycle great reach when we first get out of the curve and then we'll
end up with a shorter leg cycle okay then we know that there is some improvement that need to
be made when it comes to top end speed okay and and also just being able to get kind of used to
this situation right like you could just tell he got tense right when you're watching you could
just see that he got a little tense he wasn't used to this where noah lyles is like this is my thing
you know like you could tell for him it was very easy very simple this is where he wants to be able
to catch people and hog people down right and so he maintained great foot contact time because he
landed with his foot more underneath him okay i could guarantee you he landed with his feet
or with his weight closer to the front part of his foot where arian knighton was starting to land
further back right didn't have the same position as he did earlier on and i think aaron knighton
should continue to just kill it in the curve right i don't think that he should go and try to
you know save himself for the end i think he just needs to be able to stick to his
mechanics instead of you know tightening up he needs to stick to what he had at the beginning
of the race right and allow himself to be able to finish through strong i would say he needs
to continue to work on his hunter he needs to continue to work on his short distance stuff
so he could be great within that straightaway even potentially 60 meters right and he can get
get into that top speed training i hope that that's what he does i hope he doesn't think
oh yeah he needs to do a lot more endurance stuff and that that ends up being the thing the reason
he got beat wasn't because of endurance it's because noah lyles has a faster top speed so aaron
knight needs to work his top end speed to be able to withhold no allows in the world championships
and potentially win the world championship gold i know that that's what they at the end of the day
that's what they're chasing and i hope that's what he ends up doing as always if you like
