Erriyon Knighton showed the world why some think he is the next Usain Bolt
It takes a lot to get the entire Olympic world talking. And a 17-year-old did just that at the track. This was a true ‘wow’ moment.
While the crowd may be missing there was still a collective 'wow' resonate through the Tokyo Olympic stadium after Erriyon Knighton gave the world a glimpse of his abilities in the men's 200m semi-final.
The 17-year-old has been earmarked as Usain Bolt's successor in the 200m after he toppled the Jamaican's Under-18 world record of 20.13, which he set back in 2003.
Knighton is certainly embracing the hype and there was a fair bit of Bolt about how he cruised over the finish line, clocking 20.02sec in the opening semi-final.
The 200m promises to be one of the races of the Olympics given how competitive the semi-finals were with favourite Noah Lyles having a minor scare.
He has long been anointed as Bolt's replacement and won the world title in 2019 but he was almost caught out by slowing down on the line.
Lyles seemed to be doing it comfortably in the lead but Canada's Aaron Brown and Liberia's Joseph Fahnbulleh both surged at him on the line.
After a long deliberation Brown was awarded the victory despite all three being given the same time of 19.99sec.
Lyles slipped down to third but got through to Wednesday night's final as one of the two fastest losers.
In the third semi-final South Africa's Andre De Grasse made a statement setting a new national record of 19.73sec to defeat American Kenneth Bednarek (19.83sec).
While Knighton has been talked up recently De Grasse has always been in the Bolt discussion given he was competitive with the world record holder at the end of his career.
Updates
FT: AUS 97-59 ARG - Wowee, Boomers
Well, I don't think anyone really saw that coming, but this has been something special in the second half from the Boomers.
Australia's biggest-ever win at the Olympics is a 41- point win over Greece back in 1996 – this went very close at 38.
The crappy fouls came out late with Nicolas Laprovittola manhandling Nathan Sobey and forcing the refs to bolt in to intervene.
Nice little moment with Luis Scola getting an applause from both teams and the small crowd in attendance – it's his last Olympic Games. Not a bad effort for a 41-year-old former NBA man. He's giving a wave of thanks and I see some tears.
Boomer Patty led the way with 18 points, while Jock Landale and Matisse Thybulle had 12 each.
Nick Kay continues to impress with his do-it-all attitude, ripping down 10 rebounds to go with his 10 points, Joe Ingles had 11 points and Dante Exum had perhaps his most impressive performance, scoring all nine of his points when the game was on the line in the third and early in the fourth.
Sooooo… How do we beat Team USA?
Here's what Bogut reckons:
"(It's) going to be an interesting game against Team USA because it is same philosophies, switching one through five, small ball line-ups, the US don't play a traditional big. We're going to have to have tweaks in the arsenal, I don't think you can match USA playing their style for 40 minutes. Interesting to see what Brian Goorjian has up his sleeve."
And here's Gazey on how you stop Team USA superstar Kevin Durant:
"I don't think you play Kevin Durant one-on-one. I think you need some size but if any type of onball situation or when he goes down to the block, they throw the ball to him down the low post with his size and stepback, you can't have single coverage. I think it's more collectively what you do rather than just the individual match-ups. It's going to be with lot of those players with the United States team."
'Thing of beauty': Boomers destroying Argentina
Look out Team USA.
The Boomers have found their feet in this competition.
It won't be easy – there is still a few minutes to go in this game – but the Aussies have given themselves the best preparation possible to take on the old enemy.
All of a sudden, they lead Argentina by 30 and show no signs of slowing down – a ridiculous 21-4 run – thanks for coming.
"This is an absolute thing of beauty we've seen from this Australian team," Gaze says.
The bench – Josh Green and Duop Reath get their first minutes -has been emptied and it's all elementary from here.
'He just whacked him in the head': The Boomers are just about home
Exum has continued his brilliant third-quarter form into the last, throwing down a massive jam on Argentina.
He also copped one for his troubles.
"That's almost a flagrant on Campazzo. Have a look, he just whacked him in the head. That's worthy of a review," Andrew Gaze said.
The Boomers have put this to bed with a 13-0 run that has given them a 25 point lead and given them one and a half feet in the semi final against Team USA.
Six minutes to go and the Aussies are filling it up – Argentina hasn't scored in the four minutes we've played.
Jamaican sprint queen does a Bolt
-Scott Gullan
The Jamaican monopoly on women's sprinting continues with Elaine Thompson-Herah moving into Usain Bolt territory.
Thompson-Herah is putting together a Bolt-like domination after completing the 100m-200m double at consecutive Olympic Games.
Bolt did it three times and there seems no sign of 29-year-old Thompson-Herah slowing down given her domination in Tokyo.
After defeating her Jamaican teammate Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in the 100m final on Saturday night, Thompson-Herah was even more dominant in the 200m final.
She burst away from lane seven and was never really in any danger, clocking a new personal best and Jamaican record of 21.53sec.
The surprise was the late burst from Namibia's Christine Mboma to grab silver in a world U/20 record of 21.81sec with America's Gabrielle Thomas taking bronze (21.87sec).
Fraser-Pryce faded over the final stages to finish fourth.
Thompson-Herah burst onto the scene at the 2016 Rio Olympics by becoming the first woman in 28 years to complete the Olympic sprint double.
She came into Tokyo with a cloud over her because of injury concerns but they were quickly dismissed in emphatic fashion.
One of the main talking points to come out of the Olympic final will be the performance of Mboma.
The 18-year-old was banned from running in the 400m because of high testosterone levels.
Under the rules which were introduced in 2018 for double Olympic 800m champion Caster Semenya, Mboma and her teammate Beatrice Masilingi are able to compete in the sprints but not in middle-distance races.
3QT: AUS 60-48 ARG - Boomers can't land big blow
It's been a bit back and forth in the third and, while the Aussies still hold a handsome lead, every time it looks like they will run away with it, Argentina reel them back in.
"We can't land the big blow right now. It's just remaining close and a little too close for comfort at the moment," Bogut says.
Dante Exum was a feature in that quarter, A three ball, then a driving lay-up snuffing out one of a number of Argentina's attempted comebacks. But it was his coast-to-coast lay-up as time expired to give the Boomers a 12-point lead that really caught the eye.
Exum – with three fouls – had seven points in the quarter as Goorjian trusted in him – while Argentina's key man Luis Scola sat the entire third with his three fouls – huge difference in trust and coaching on each team.
Mills has 16 and Landale 10 for the Boomers.
Argentina closing in
A pair of Gabriel Deck threes has cut the margin to six.
"Really open this three or four minutes. Up and down, no real structure for either team. Probably works to the advantage of Argentina," Andrew Bogut says.
Patty Mills hit one from the carpark and he's made all three of his attempts from deep for 16 points.
It's 51-45 with three mins left in the third.
Elite Patty, Jock cooking
Jock Landale is franking his NBA ambitions with a super start to the second half.
Landale opened the scoring with a straight away three that touched nothing but net and then popped another one, this time from the corner, to give him 10 for the game – and open up a double digit lead for the first time.
Argentina's coach Sergio Hernandez is not a happy camper.
Andrew Gaze on our man Patty Mills, who has 13 to lead all scorers, after he put his opponent in the freezer and blew by for an easy finger roll:
"Boy, you need to be committed if you're going to guard Patty Mills because he is constantly on the move. He's elite when he gets the ball in his hands."
Six to go in the third.
A new star is born in women's athletics
-Scott Gullan
GET used to this name, Athing Mu.
Athletics is searching for some new heroes in the post Usain Bolt era and they may have found a keeper in the 19-year-old American who won the 800m Olympic gold medal in devastating fashion.
The tall long-striding Mu led all the way and broke the USA record in the fastest 800m race in history with six of the eight finalists all producing lifetime bests.
Mu clocked 1min55.21sec to defeat Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson who ran a national record of 1:55,88sec with another American, Raevyn Rogers, registering a personal best 1:56.82sec.
And Mu also claimed a slice of history in the process becoming the first US woman to win gold over the 800m in more than 50 years.
"I was made for this.," she boldly declared in the lead-up to her Olympic debut.
Mu burst on to the scene when she was just 16, setting a senior US indoor 600m record of 1:23.57sec.
The athlete from Trenton, New Jersey, has gone on to break a string of high school, collegiate and age-group records from the 400m to the 800m. She was silver medallist in the 800m at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires.
A freshman at Texas A&M this year, Mu has continued breaking records all season including the world U/20 indoor 800m record.
She is the second youngest of seven siblings whose parents moved to the US from Sudan 20 years ago.
