If Wade can win the gold medal for the 400m at the world championships it will be one of the greatest ever comebacks from serious injury not just in track and field but all sports I wish him all the best.
I agree
*WELL SAID!*
Ask your doctor who really won? You and I. Regenartive medicine made great strides. Lets we forget Gale Sayers.
His power is in his shoulders! Homeboy❤🇿🇦
I agree with you and would love to see this happen. Steven Gardiner is going to be a very tough opponent, though.
Always nice to see Van Niekerk back in form. His return is honestly insane. Been 6 years since he was on top, and the man is looking nearly unbeatable right now
Thats how we as (South) Africans do it! We WORK:)

@@marthinusbyleveld5012 Whats this got to do with anything?
@@jhadebredenkamp97 We Americans really work , many more world class athletes and sport stars not to mention movie and music stars business and state entities all working very well ... oh and we have electricity . That's how we beat your ass - we work harder . Get it .
During those 6 years, it’s also important to note that Van Niekerk got married, moved from South Africa to America, changed training groups/coaches, and became a father. What’s astounding to me is that even with massive life changes, which could easily and understandably shift his priorities and focus, Van Niekerk still worked his way back to the top. What an incredible return.
He knows how to win though rounds,I can see him fighting it out at the finish this summers worlds
He's also old like alot of these sprinters nowadays
@@toddpage9138 We’ve had old sprinters for a long time, and Wayde isn’t even that old considering. Michael Johnson was almost a year older than Wayde is currently when he set the 400m record. Frankie Fredericks ran sub 10 and sub 20 until the year he turned 35, and Marlene Ottey ran professionally into her 50s. Wayde still has a few good years left in him.
All praise to God almighty... Great runner.. What an inspiration for our youth.. Exstrodenary.. massive.. You go go Wyde ❤
He's actually my favorite runner. Humble yet hardworking and strong. People dont realize how mind boggling 43.03 is. Great to see him back
And to run it completely alone from lane 8. Absolutely insane
People dont realize it because they were never assigned the task to even run 300 meters in less than a minute.
@@Amaraticando come on bro, i was like 4th in my class in highschool and I ran 400 in a 1:03 as my first lap of 1500
@@josipdolibasic4143 well, most people are not highschollers and even among HS the vast majority can't.
HS athletes are a minority. Outside the US [and a few other countries] they're more scarse.
Usain Bolt should have done 42.00
As a South African I have been so invested in his return and finally he is here 🙌🏽 a real 🐐
Thanks for keeping you support local. Local legends always become international legends.

Wayne van niekark, is a legend of the 400m. No doubt am so happy he is back , with fully effect. He is definitely, the man to beat at world championship.
Great to see WvN running 2 of his Top 10 times ever this season after that terrible injury, would no doubt have run sub 43s if it wasn't for that injury! Gardiner (31.59 SB) almost running his fastest ever 300m (31.52 PB) to open his season this year hopefully means we'll get them close to their best in Budapest and on the podium!
My gosh, Van Niekerk is such a joy to watch. His running looks so effortless, and it's almost as if his body under-produces lactic acid in the final straightaway of the 400 (relative everyone else). I'm so glad he's had the strength and determination to make a comeback, as his initial departure felt way too premature. May he stay injury free and continue to grace the track community with his superhuman abilities!
Glad to see that Wayde is being recognised as one of the greatest ever. His determination is truly inspirational. Unfortunately too many people place other athletes, such as Michael Norman, above him, in spite of his world records in the 300 and 400 meters.
We Rise and Fall and Rise again... I've been waiting for this moment of him rising again, Wayde van Niekerk is definitely in great shape.
The dedication over the years to get back into elite level fitness is incredible! I hope he's able to continue to be injury free and make improvements to get back to being closer to his WR.
Hell yeah! That's next level determination to fight back like that from a serious injury. Im so stoked for him. Thanks TRP for this inspirational breakdown
As someone who also tore their ACL, I know hard it is and how long it takes to get back to running, especially sprinting. Makes me so happy to see him back in top form!! Can't wait to see what Wayde does :)
Next time you see your doctor hug him or her and say Gale Sayers. They will return your embrace. Thanks for supporting regenartive medicine.
This race shows that he was pacing himself for a much slower race, but dug deep and pulled out an incredible finishing 100. Interested to see what he can do now that he knows he has more in the tank.
It's nice to see van niekark ,back on the track.for the past 6 years injuries,have dominate is live , at 1 stage he feel like giving up. But he is back now, and doing well. He even looked technically .better than first time.he is in great form at the moment. And running the 400m more tactical,and he is looking dangerous ,for is rivals.he is the favourite,for the gold medal at world championships.
Anyone who can run under 44 seconds on 400m even ones is part of the super elite. Dude was making it look easy in 2017. He's comeback is mind-blowing even if he never gets close to his own records again.
Showing respect to Caster Semenya shows how special is this man ! Congratulations champ ❤
Wayde Van Niekerk is a beast. That's crazy. What a monstrously powerful willpower.
We r so happy to see, Wayne van niekark back .and dominating the 400m he goes through a lot, for the last couple of years. So it's really nice to see him on the track. Because he did said that, he felt like to give up . I don't think any body, can beat him, at work championships. Whit the form van niekark is in right now. No body can stand up to him,wen he is in top gear.
Steven Gardiner can certainly challenge him. It could be an epic match up.
He might win the world championships. Because the likes of Norman abd Gardiner have never been that good let's be honest. But he will never be in the same league as Michael Johnson. Despite that one off freak World record. He hasn't done enough. Michael Johnson will forever be the 400m GOAT.
He is reminding me of the year he broke the world record. He never ran under 44 in his 2016 season until the race he broke the record. Not saying he will this year but he’s obviously in very great shape I’ve watched and analyzed many of his races. And it’s clear he’s not running all out you can literally see a kick at the 300 but too much of a kick like he’s saving energy. All his races this season have been test runs leading up to Budapest. I see 43.5-43.6 at worlds. If he runs faster than 43.5 than he may eventually be able to break the record again in the coming seasons.
Wow, try Google. WVN broke 44 multiple times in 2015 (was World Champ with a 43.48). Wayde was a pre-2016 favorite for the Gold until he drew lane 8. I think lane 8 helped him as he had to run his own race.
@@wayneegli8379 I wasn’t specific with what I meant because I figured track fans would just know what I meant. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know what I meant if you know track. The season, the year he broke the world record in 2016. THAT particular season he hadn’t run 43 seconds until the Olympics. And everyone else who liked my comment knew what I meant or else they would’ve said something.
@@-vll- 100%
He will never break 43.03. That was a freak one off run. Like Bolts 9.58. It will stand for 25 to 30 years.
@@fender1000100 It was possible , but.........( Injury / rugby )
I have followed his career for many years and its sad to note, he only got appreciation by majority South Africans after his Olympic gold. I noticed after returning from a major international win, it was only a handful of people (family and friends) to welcome him at the airport. He was not celebrate then cos of his skin color. Thankfully his Olympic gold changed that.
Truly the Goliath of sprinting. Bolt was legendary in and of himself but it's on a different category with Wayde, his determination makes me love him more.
So happy for him. One of those rare, rare individuals with unwavering self belief and resilience. Not to mention an incredibly humble, nice guy.
Wayde has been my favourite runner! So glad he’s making a comeback! I have no doubt that if his progress goes the right way, he will win the worlds!
He’s looks strong again he finally has his legs under him. I don’t know if he can get back to 43.03 but I can honestly say he seems like he’s in sub 44 form.
You can tell the difference he ran during this last 100m in Poland comparing to what he did last year in Eugene. He was struggling in the last 100m last year. Again, glad he is finally back after so many years
He is back! It’s him vs. Gardiner for WC
Is gardiner healthy he hasn’t ran since march 31st
Gardiner will not beat wade
@@certifiedchaos4643 He won 400m at both the Bermuda Grand Prix in May and the Diamond League Rabat in June
@@paggyD2024 did he man im must have missed that, that’s good to know
@@certifiedchaos4643 43.74 today in World Athletics meet in Hungary.
He actually held back on the last 100m in Poland. His coach knows what he’s doing. He’ll peak in Budapest
I've always felt like he's been underappreciated his whole career, especially from his own country. One of the all time greats in my opinion as you've rightfully pointed out. Thanks for the nice video
As a minority South African I absolutely agree with you. Black ..African ..majority South Africans appreciate Bolt more than WvN.
@@Gen_X Indeed, I mean before the olympics Michael johnson and some experts gave him no chance. He smashed some records, arguably one of the all time GOATS in my opinion
Underappreciated because of severe injury.
I'm glad to see Wayde back in form. I wish him the best!
How can you not root for the guy, his comeback is just amazing. I'm looking forward to some great 400 meter duels!
This channel absolutely carries my interest in t&f- no one else can do it like TRP🙌
Wayde Van Niekerk is definitely one of the most complete sprinters of all times
thanks for telling that story. I had no idea. Extremely inspiring!
So happy to see this. That 2016 run was one of the most amazing things I've seen.
I think the narrator understated Van Niekerk’s magnificence. He’s clearly the greatest human to ever live. Also, I’m a native English speaker from South Africa, and the mispronunciation of WV’s last name is really grating. It’s like this, I’ll sound it out phonetically for you: Van-Fun Nie-Ni Kerk-Kairrk. Wayde is VeyDa.
Wayde is not VeyDa. Not sure where you get that.
"Veyda" 🤔 WTF
Wade is the man ! Nest complete sprinter, hands down. I believe will be back at the top come Worlds.
What an incredible comeback !
Our South African pride. Wayde is just an amazing athlete. So proud of him. 👏👏👏🙏🙏
He is back
Truly an elite athlete. I'm sure he's DONE with rugby. What an amazing comeback!
There is an American runner who talks about the long run dangers of ballistic sport. Sage Canady. If a kid is not going to make a million it is best not to play such games at all. My right knee will never recover from the pounding it look.
Ironically, donning a National rugby shirt in my country(South Africa) will make you an instant global millionaire. But in this case of Wayde, he seems to have donned the wrong shirt did he not🙂! Almost ruined him.
Glad to see he's back in form! Five years, he deserves to get who he has lost back!
What makes Wayde record in rio crazy is he broke the record wearing 150k Richard Mille watch
Cant wait to see what he can do now that he is back in good form. Lets go Wayde!!!
Just imagine what he would of achieved if he never got injured
I’ve been dreaming for Wayde to get back to his old ways and I’m glad he’s reaching that
That closing 100m looked fast didn't know it was faster than the Rio race. He has changed his running style being more conservative in the first 300m. Clearly a strong favorite for Gold at the World champs.
His comeback is goosebump moments. For those who dont know, this is his cousin:
ruclips.net/video/zZ1CYTQ_0V4/видео.html
Arguably one of the greatest track athlete and greatest rugby player in the world from the same family 🤯
I’m a big fan of Wade. I hope he wins this year’s WC’s. With this kind of finishing strength, Wade is in a great position. Now, he has the luxury to work on relaxation at high speed. If he can get that handled really well, he could get back down to the low 43’s and that should be enough to take the Gold. But if his relaxation at high speed is exceptional, he could go after the first sub-43 in history. That would be really something.
Thanks TRP for compiling this video. You always put a nice and informative compilation together. Keep up the good works . Im curious to know what country you from ? Watching video now twice - immediately after each other.
Pretty sure he is American.
What a champ. Imagine him winning World Championship 400m gold and his cousin, Cheslin Kolbe, winning Rugby World Cup gold within a month of each other. That would be a fairytale.
As impressive as his WR in the 400 is, I still can't wrap my mind around 30.81 in the 300m. It defies logic. I wish it was ran more as we would see how great that time truly is. I suspect it wouldn't be even approached by this era of athletes.
Some might not know this, but his cousin is Cheslin Kolbe, a Springbok (South African National team) rugby player, who just so happens to be one of the faster rugby players in the world and is considered by many to be on his way to becoming a rugby great. Quite obviously, speed runs in the family. I'll see myself out.
I thought his career was over tbh. So glad he is back running fast times. 😌
May no injury impede his resurgence 🙏
Go Wayde! What an athlete! Looking forward to him breaking his own record!
Coming from 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Good luck Wayne, we believe in you…! Proudly South African
Go Wade we are all behind you I'm sure your mental strength will get you there
I really hope he wins the world champion ships. That would be so amazing after such a long recovery. Let's go!
I think it's safe to say that Van Niekerk won't be playing a rugby game anytime soon.
as a south african i appreciate this, been not seeing his full story now i get it. thank you
I'm proud of this man hail from home Bloemfontein 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Very Very impressive!! 2 world Records in 300m 400m!! 9.94 in the 100m and 19.84 in the 200m! 😮
Proud to sau his from my CITY.. ALSO A big LIVERPOOL FC FAN.
Lekker Wayde jou yster!!!
He looks more muscular in the upper body. I'm glad to see him sustain his power over the last sixty meters.
Wishing him the best of luck for this year. Your determination is admirable and I salute you as a fellow South African. Let's go Wayde🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️
What grit!
Excellent vid
Stoked to see him back, also imagine if bolt kept doing the 400m😳 He’d do like 42 seconds
Bolt never trained for the 400 and his heart wasn’t in it 😂 he never broke 45 seconds so a 42 was very unlikely
Well I see his heart wasn’t in it but 400m used to be his main event. Imagine van niekerk but 6 foot 5. That’s a sub 43
His surname is Afrikaans its pronounced "fun knee k air k"
Thanks for the knowledge 🔥 🙏
That is hard to believe!
i can't wait for the World championships.....its gonna be a blast ...Simbini also doing well and wade currently blasting through nicely...
great production.... Wade's a true champ
I was out there. 5 K on 8:38 regenerative treatments. Thanks to the gods of medicine 💉💊 we have such treatment for us all. And remember unlike the other so called sports running is not a spectator's sport. Running is not a beauty contest within the lines. Running is the gift of Cronos the demigod of the measure of time. Tick, tick,tick...
More than happy for him. God bless him❤
In watching 40 years of athletics, WVN's 8th lane blind WR in my opinion has only ever been matched in an Olympic stadium by what David Rudisha did at London 2012 in the 800m final.
Suggestion: When you give facts in the video like, “Van Niekerk broke the sub 10, 20, and 44 second barriers, which only two other athletes have done all time,” could you please name those athletes? You give us a fact that makes us curious but don’t provide the information that would satisfy the curiosity. I know off the top of my head that Fred Kerley is one of the other athletes, but I don’t know who the final one would be.
Love your videos though, keep doing what you do!
Edit: I just realized it was Michael Norman. So, the three athletes are Michael Norman, Fred Kerley, and Wade Van Niekerk
Wayde is so smooooth man, lets hold our breathe. Expecting great things this year 🙌
2016 was a dark year for me and when Wayde broke that record, I felt lifted up and so proud to be South African! He was then and still is my hero for achieving such a feat!
It’s good he is back👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I recall thinking in 2016 “Oh no, he’s gone out too fast because he can’t see what’s behind him. They’ll catch him…wait, they’re not catching him”
Its a very great comeback on top of that he's wearing a long distance spikes
Wayde is just fantastic to watch...He made it look easy 🇿🇦
If Bolt had only spent a little less time partying and challenging himself more, I have no doubt that he would be holding the 400m record by a huge margin. This is coming from an American, who recognizes Bolt as an alien when it comes to generational talents.
Things don't transfer that easily over the different short distances, this is a wild assumption to make seeing as we will never know. Bolt took things as seriously as he could over the distances he actually ended up running and for which he is a clear legend. There is no need to cast aspersions on the achievements of others by making unprovable claims like this.
@@coolexio "by making unprovable claims like this.", that's what fans do, that's what the experts do when they project who will run what time and who will win.
Bolt ran the 400m early in his career and was very successful. It's not unusual to hear football players talk about what kind of football player Lebron would have been.
"no need to cast aspersions on the achievements of others ". That sentence makes no sense. No one attacked anyone, stop using words out of context. My comment is about Bolt, try to keep up.
@bysonchi I am not sure what a qualitative review of what fans do or don't do has to do with the merits of the specific comments you made, that's a non-statement. Saying fans do this or do that is not an adequate defence of specific statements. I am sure you see the fallacy in this. The devil is in the details.
Yes, you are indirectly (or even directly) casting aspersions on Wayde's achievements by making a wild projection about Bolt's "what if", that has no real basis. You start with an unfounded premise about Bolt's seriousness. I am not sure what doesn't make sense to you about this, unless you are being deliberately obtuse.
@@coolexio "Saying fans do this or do that is not an adequate defence of specific statements". Really Einstein, lol. If you didn't notice, I'm a fan, as well as you. You also conveniently missed the part where I showed that professionals also do the same. Nice try though.
"you are indirectly (or even directly) casting aspersions on Wayde's achievements by making a wild projection about Bolt's what if". Your attempt to come off as intellectual is quite entertaining, lol. Definition of projection, an estimate or forecast of a future situation or trend based on a study of present ones,
How can anyone make "projections" about a guy who is retired, lol? Experts partake in daily discussions about what someone would run or do under all sorts of conditions and scenarios. We are consistently reminded that Wayde might have lowered the WR how many times more, save for injuries, That's what the internet is for Einstein, and that's ok.
"casting aspersions on Wayde's achievements", no one mentioned Wayde, except you Einstein, lol. I mentioned Bolt, and you felt the need to impress upon us, your vocabulary.
"I am not sure what doesn't make sense... unless you are being deliberately obtuse". Why don't you just say slow, or annoying, lol. Fans like you make me laugh, especially when you try so hard to come off as intellectual.
Let me put it in clear simple terms. All I see is an insecure individual, who is on the internet trying to use words, that are clearly out of context, lol. Hoping to impress strangers, however, I see straight through that hypoplastic cerebrum of yours. Nice try.
@bysonchi lol and the ad hominem attacks, classic. I don't care what you think of me. You don't know me from a bar of soap. You seem to lack basic comprehension. Your unlettered diatribe isn't even addressing what I am saying. Again, you talking about what experts or fans do is irrelevant to your basic argument. On casting aspersions, you do realize that the video is about the 400m, you brought in Bolt and yes you made projections, I don't know what you understand a projection means, in this case it's a conditional projection based on a "what if" scenario. again, this just shows your lack of basic comprehension, so I know I am beating a dead horse.
6:44 dude. this is near blasphemy. Wayde is generationally great. A true legend. & to him and everyone else, I'm sure that's enough. Bc calling him the greatest or even entertaining he's the greatest sprinter in history is just plain not right. He has an impressive 3 golds in global competition across 2 events along with his silver at worlds in the 200m. Again, that's highly impressive. My man - Bolt has 8 gold medals....
at the olympics alone. & 6 of those are individual. At worlds, Bolt has 9 individual medals spread across 2 events, with 7 of them gold.
and you could say if you wanted "well Wayde is young give him time he'll catch up". To that I'd say that's not quite true - he's really not that young. but moreover, Bolt didn't earn a single global medal when he reached the age of 30. LET THAT SINK IN. Bolt did everything he did at the exact same age as WVN. and by the time of Wayde's injury at that age, if Bolt stopped there, he'd had not 1 but 2 world records, 5 individual global golds, 7 in total golds including relays... i mean there's just no debate.
not only this but it's ignorant to history. It's hard to adjust for proper scientifically engineered spikes and clean tracks instead of what many had to contend with but take the preWWII era sprinters. you talk about what wayde did in a month. bro... Jesse Owens broke THREE world records and matched a 4th one inside an hour. and it wasn't just a product of time. Not only are the times quick but imagine doing them back to back.
Lol my goodness you really took umbrage at a throwaway statement. It's not that deep.
And was it not you guys on this site who a couple yrs ago said he was finished ???? Roy b ,CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
Dude, the fastest times in events like the 150m and 300m are considered World Bests and not World Records.

Wayde is such a dedicated and humble person. I will not be surprised if he aims to break the 43 sec barrier.
that kick at 300m is only a dream for most athletes. Its usually already difficult enough to just
maintain the incoming speed
