No one’s beating Wayde this year. Believe that🙌🏾
On God!!! back like he never left
It was tight brother the competition is getting better each season remember there's steven Gardner who is the Olympic champion and they have not really met Wayde is our home boy
Steven Gardiner is running 43s unless they running under 44s no one will beat Gardiner
If Steven gardiner shows up at the worlds healthy nd without injury...then its game over for wade van...
Gardiner is favourite. He ran 43.7 the other week and smashed Deadmon and Norwood, the guys who pushed Van Niekerk here.
Van Niekerk is a phenom. After going through all of those injuries and being able to mount a comeback like this is just amazing.
he can take a leaf out of cousin Cheslin's book...and dive for the line
It's normal to make a comeback after injury. But making a comeback after years of injury is abnormal. Wayde is really phenomenal.
If he didn't get injured, I have a feeling he could've been the 1st man in history to run a sub-43, since he was only 0.03 seconds away from it.
@@mizile1486 Truth.
@@mizile1486 Thisss! To come back after a few months or even a year is fairly common. But he got injured in 2017 and its been ages, since Covid happened and so much more, and now 6 years afterward he's back in serious medal contention. To go back to level zero, having to figure out how to run again, and take years off competition while watching those you demolished prior to medalling and improving can be absolutely heart-wrenching. It's so redeeming and wholesome and I'm sure that even most athletes would just give up after this long a wait. More than anything it shows both humility and pure grit and determination.
Did they... Did they actually upload the full race
You're referring to Continental Gold.... This is diamond league
Diamond League, mate.
I'm surprised too mate 😅
@@bilalabdulrazaq8717 Oh ye You're right.
Wrong channel 😂
Another great win!! Well done to you, Wayde van Niekerk. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦♥️♥️♥️👌
The mental fortitude of Van Niekerk is something to be emulated. Respect to the other athletes without a doubt. Great race. Looking forward to the world championship.
Wade is just getting better and better like old wine hope he wins some more
What a pleasure to see one of the greatest athletes ever returning to his best. LEGEND Wayde Van Niekerk
One of the best race to remember. When you give it all you got but still isn't enough. What a race
He looked a bit tired on the final 100m. Not his normal ease. But well done! 👏🏾
facts endurance is actually his thing the last 100m
Well deserved victory. All the best for Budapest!!
Welcome back Wayde 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Homeboy is back🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦
unfortunately not for the olympics
good improvement he needs get under 43.5 if wanna come 1st against garner james an norman
Proudly South African!! Wayde, jy is 'n Helder Ster, boetman!!
Well done Wayde! you make South Africa very proud!!!
Thanks Wayde 🇿🇦
Way to go Wayde. Another good win. We're all behind you 💖💖💖🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
That was close. Looks like he went out too fast the first 200m.
Yes normally he allows one or two to go ahead of him.
lol before injury that would of been a normal run for him tbh guess now it probably is
Thank you for actually giving us the full race this time! Now don’t go back to your old ways!
@@AbdulSabitAriff Perhaps it’s you that should try being more observant “son”. Watch the women’s 800m race posted just 19 hours ago. It’s 60 seconds long. Or perhaps the 1mile record setting race from 2 days ago, its only 65 seconds long, or the mens 5000m also 2 days ago that’s only 60 seconds long. And the list goes on.
Also maybe check yourself before making yourself look silly….son.
Big up yourself Wayne. Slow and steady wins the race. Bless.
Garner, Norman and Wayde. This year's championship will be fire
Not fire ,steven gardiner with a easy win , he'll smoke them
Didn't Norman quit 400m?
It's gonna be fire with Norman, Samukonga and the Bahamian
The Bahamaian is Steven Gardiner,just in case you forgot his name.
Didn't Norman quit 400m?
@@arnoldwoumfo her name is Stephanie Gaydiner.
That was a good one.
Wow! I didn't think it possible and this guy is just showing me something, much respect WvN!!! 🙏
🇿🇦well done Wayne!!! We are so proud of you!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎊🏅🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆
Well done Auti ya Blom
Well Done Wadada!!! Great to see you back on the track. All the best for worlds🔥🔥👏👏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💪🏾
We love you Wayde from SA
Wayde doesn't collapse after the finish line anymore compared to his performances b4 his injury. Guess there's more on the tank now and he's not breaking 44 yet 🎉
Well done Wayde!!! Hope you peak at the right times and keep on winning... 👌💯💪🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Wade is pure class well done, champ
Wayde 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome Wayne.. congratulations
Proud moment 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Not sure if he's far enough back to beat Gardiner. He struggled with Deadmon and Norwood here, whereas the week before Gardiner obliterated them while running 43.7. Either way, it should be some kind of showdown.
Van Niekerk also blown them away in Poland about a week ago.I guess they wanted a revenge this time but he still won regardless.
Nah he was like jogging but the others were closing on him. So just for control he had to push a bit at the end to finish first. This is how he was running before he broke the world record in 2016. I believe Wayde is back and he wants to break his own world record.
@@abigailnomsamndebele6351 definitely wasn't jogging. He had to work for that win. He may have trained through this race to ensure he's ready for World's, we never really know. If I was forced to pick, I'd go with Gardiner, but would be perfectly happy if Wayde beat him.
@@trackandfieldarchive well , that's my opinion, also that's what I saw.
Let's gooooo.
Another victory going into the Worlds, even if it was close, is psychologically important. I live not far away and they were difficult conditions on Sunday with a blustery wind so don't take much notice of the times recorded.
Why does he look disapointed but he won the race
Didn't look like the smoothest/best race by van Niekerk. Glad he held on for the win. I hope he has a great one at worlds and gets the title 🇿🇦
Great
Congratulations
Lekker Wayde! 🥇
Wayde WOW
Grate stuff...
❤❤❤
Gogogoo WVN
Wayne will be ready....... believe that
Jo jo jo, dit was close meneer, ‘n stukkie biltong voor die race kan dalk help.
Jy is n Yster Wayde.
😢rising of Jesus Christ
FIRST
全盛期の面影ゼロだな。。
I dreamt Wayde runs a 42.95 at the worlds 😅 won't read too much into it because I was running with 😂
Look like Wayde is washed.
What does thar mean?
Even with everything he's been through he's still beating the injury-free athletes from the USA,lol.
Wayde shouldn't be running anymore with his knee injury he had some few years ago.
He won all his races so far.
He has beaten these same guys multiple times this season😂
@@kdshowtyme1164Wayde lost to 2 Americans at 2022 WCH 😂
@wesw7241 We're talking about 2023 bro! The American Champion has lost to the Legend in every race so far,lol
Wade is the reigning world champion...the rest must still get there..they got something to proof...not Wayde.
