- In this episode, I sat down with the most well-rounded sprinter of all time, Wayde Van Niekerk. We talked about his road to recovery after suffering from an injury. His unbelievable comeback and reclaiming the number 1 rank in the world. We explored his historic world record breaking run at the Rio Olympics, growing up alongside his cousin Cheslin Kolbe, the Springboks victory at the Rugby World Cup, Usain Bolt, competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics and much more!

Very underrated podcast. His modesty and dedication is very rare for someone who is undoubtedly the best sprinter of all time. Incredible human
SHOUT OUT 2 WAYDE, he gave soo many YOUNG SOUTH AFRICAN ATHLETES HOPE and Inspiration during those Olympics
Thank You Mr Joshua Rubin
Wayde thank you for being a role model for our children And being humble!...and Josh, well done!
Proudly Coloured, down to earth, no arrogance! ❤ May God keep on using Wade as carrier of the torch.
Have to love him saying, 'the 100m and 200m is for fun to enjoy, but the 400m is my job' 😄. Love this guy, so much respect for him, his work ethic and perseverance is next level! Rooting for you Champ. Great interview @wideawakepodcast. Sometimes people do forget he is still the most versatile sprinter , no bias just fact. The 'sub club' is now famous because in 2016 he became the 1st sprinter to go under 10s, under 20s, under 31s and under 44s, holding both 300m and 400m records.
Respect, a true role model
Wayde is a true legend! Great podcast!
Wayde i have complete confidence in you knowing who you are and what you can achieve in your quest to once again be the best
Wayde you are such a humble gentleman! Can't wait to watch your performance in Paris 2024! Much ♡♡♡ from the Philippines!!!
The fact is you are the best ever Wayde
Power interview, much appreciated. May your channel continue to grow and continue to inspire South Africans, Africans and the world!!
What a wonderful, humble young man!! Any chance he may move to 800m distance!!

Wayde you are a wonderful role model. I thank CHRIST for you .🥇♥️✨
I no longer like that guy called Michael Johnson. He was so cocky at the Rio Olympics as an analyst because he said Wayde van Niekerk couldn't break his world record. Plus he is one of the legends vocal in discriminating against Caster Semenya.
🤩
@Wide Awake podcast how can you interview me I have Chess story to tell
Will Wayde be running the 100/200m double anytime again? Or the 200/400m double again
its because he moved thats why they picked him cos he was playing good overseas
Thumbnail? What about Usain Bolt.
Hey, Wayde is the best all round sprinter of all time! We talk about it towards the end of the episode 🙌🏻
@@wideawakepodcastHey bro, does everyone always joking about your ears ever get to you? Its the way you were born dude, not your fault.
@@RatedRRajI didnt even notice it fr fr
@@simeon8967 Everyone on the other videos mostly comment it, like the one where he speaks with Florida Joker. He even went ahead now and made another video addressing it.
@@wideawakepodcast you are wrong
He's not the greatest sprinter on earth Usain Bolt 100m record will never be broken. Wayde record is not untouchable
