Wayde Van Niekerk is the current world record holder for the men's 400 meters. In 2016 at the Olympic Games in Rio, Van Niekerk ran a time of 43.03, breaking Michael Johnson's previous mark of 43.18 all the way back from 1999. Building up to this incredible race, Van Niekerk became the only athlete in history to:
1) Run under 10 seconds for the 100 meters
2) Run under 20 seconds for the 200 meters
and
3) Run under 44 seconds for the 400 meters
Indeed, Van Niekerk had a spectacular set of sprinting skills that led him to this fantastic world record.
In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at Van Niekerk's running career and we'll be dissecting exactly how he ran this historic world record.

I really hope he comes back, he deserves to be the first person to break 43
It will have to be earned.
jhoncena1111: No records served up on a silver platter, eh?
Dang!!
@@fredrickstephens5586 I'm sure you know all about participation rewards 😏
Fredrick Stephens hahaha
@Shay Ogun ;-;
If you know anything about track, you know the lane 8 struggle! Not only is it crazy hard to win, but a world record?!?!
For some people it is an advantage because you would have to run blind and set a pace for everyone to follow.
Why is it harder to win I dont understand
Christian Heißner you are running blind and have no idea where the other runners are
Centrifugal force would like a word with you.
jhoncena1111 😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny how you video this one the exact date of the record it been exactly three years
Great story indeed. As a South African I couldn't find words to describe how I personally felt with his Olympic gold. Simply " SPEECHLESS ".
Exactly 3 years ago today (August 14, 2019), Van Niekerk ran this incredible 400 meter world record. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best track and field world records of all time. What do you all think?
Really impressive. Also he delivered when he had to. :)
From lane 8!!! Let’s see 42.99 next year in Tokyo !!! 2020
I think it's one of the most iconic races of all time
It is very impressive, but for me personally, I think David Rudisha’s 800m world record is the top spot. Both records superb. 👍👍👍
@@djc0108 oh ya 100 percent I forget unbelievable athlete,well their bought incredible athletes,but ya Rudishas was incredible.
I remember this, the same way I remember Bolt's 100m world record. This was one, of not THE, best track race ever. Simply incredible.
london 2012 800m final: 4 PBs, 3 NRs, 1 WJR, 1 WR
Yeah Daisy it was a great 100m race for sure!
People forget that Tyson Gay posted 9.71!!! ... for 2nd place. I can't think of more than a few races he wouldn't have won with that time!
@@jfmhunter375 that's my go to. The Toyko 2022 men's hurdles is the only contender imo
Love Wayde Van Niekirk brilliant 400 metres runner, stunning World record in Rio in 2016, what I also like about him is his MODESTY none of this postering like bolt.
Bolt's 'posturing' is actually cool, at least he is not arrogant like the Americans. As for Wayde, he is just a humble well-mannered individual.
Every athlete has their own personality. Bolt shows confidence with fun rather than arrogance, which was entertaining and a breath of fresh air. This has endeared him to audiences across the world. Wade's own humility and achievements have also been wonderful to behold. It's nice to have variety that makes the sport more intriguing
South African sports people are usual modest, humble. Very few showoffs amongst sa sportspeople.
@@len2son which Americans? legit asking, I'm not as into the sport asI wish. just curious to know more
I was incredible emotional with the Van Niekert’s golden medal in 400 metres. I hope his performance will be great this year 2023
He trained THREE times per day, SIX days a week? My god, no wonder he's the WR holder.
That's not an unusual schedule at his level. I ran track and cross at a D1 school. We trained 3 times a day.
You think greatness comes from a 2 hour gym session twice a week
It's fucking work and discipline
Also no disrespect
Almost all athletes train like that
I'm pretty sure every Olympic athlete does the same, if not more.
Its about quality not quantity. A lot of that training would have been useless and only impede his recovery from the beneficial part of his program. The top athletes are often at the top due to awesome genetics and would prosper no matter what coach they had and can thrive off a great variety of training programs, even the wrong training programs, Usain Bolt being the most obvious example. More training doesn't mean better performance, there's a limit to what the body can recover from, pure and simple. If you go over the threshold of what you can recover from, you're only hurting yourself. This is reality not a fucking Rocky movie where hard work/inspiration wins. Being as close to reality and what best suits your body training wise is what will garner the best results.
One of the few events with a vulnerable record because there is tremendous talent in the 400 right now, better than ever.
True, the 400m hurdles too.
As a matter of interest. His coach Tannie Ans is pronounced "Tunny" which means Aunt in afrikaans... So it's a nickname - "Aunty" Ans
greatleapforwards The sweetest, purest dynamic between coach and athlete i think 💙
Hulle kannie Afrikaans gooi nie man...
@@melissavancoppenhagen3756 Are you Danish?
francois williams Duidelik nie 😂
francois williams Afrikaans 🇿🇦, maar my familie is van Deense afkoms :)
If he doesn't come back in 2020 Olympics I will cry my eye balls out and will forever!
Its very unlikely bro , he had an ACL operation in his knee , you never the same after that
*Happy Birthday, WVN's 400m world record*
He seems to thrive in the outside lanes.
These videos are so good, you deserve more subs
Thank you!
I don't remember how many times I have watched his videos,his simply the best 👌
He looks like a very humble person.
He is. Very nice guy.
That is because he probably is
Fantastic video man! I'm not a sprinter but I love watching Van Niekirk! He has such a beautiful technique and his ability to maintain speed in the last 100m of the 400 is incredible!
That was a solid video! Very well put together and informative. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m an upcoming freshman and today was the first day of xc practice - loved it!
I believe the term is " incoming" freshman but be$t of luck.
No summer practice?
Bro my first meet is tomorrow and I don’t feel prepared💀
How's it going?
And this year we win the Rugby World Cup with his cousin Cheslin Kolbe scoring the winning try. South African sports is finally starting to shine.
@JK Rai wade and cheslin Kolbe are first cousins .
What an inspiring and humbling story! He is by far my favorite athlete. I hope he is strong enough to come back for 2020, he deserves another shot at sub 43. Great job, this was an awesome video!
We hope he's fit for next year's Olympics. He was phenomenal.
Lane 8 is underated, having a good curv!
Your videos are always so informative and well researched. Keep it up!
He’s a LEGEND🙏🏽
Well done! This was a thorough documentary. Very interesting!
This Race happened 3 years ago at the Olympics in Rio
El Gato you’re really smart
@@Anaperius his point his why is the guy making a video 3 years late, when the best possible time to get views would be right after the olympics
Thank you for gives this video.
Wayde was like I'm gonna finish first..& then he realised.. wait a minute this isn't a 200 meters race...💁🏻♂️
& Then was like..Oh nevermind, I'll just run another 200 to seal the deal..🤷🏻♂️💁🏻♂️
Wowww. Your channel are amazing. You did a great job. I hope your channel get more subscriber.
Excellent video on Van Niek's running career
Excellent race, analysis and video! Also fantastic coaching!
more videos like this please! great job
I enjoyed this video.. nicely made!
God bless you Wayde Van
i love ur chanel thanks for another gr8 video!
Much props to the Champ! Many factors got to winning this. What I see Is that it matters who you have around you for they can push you beyond what you think you can do.
Great vid, thanks
Great video. I really hope he will back. If not in Doha, then Tokyo; so there can be a part 2 to this video.
His running form is simply beautiful.
I love your videos,, tks for share.
This record is gonna hold for a loooonnnnggg time.
Great video!
AWESOME VIDEO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great vid!
he had an incredible 200 split!!
Very very interesting content. I really enjoyed it.
400 and 200 are my favorite track and field events to watch :)
One of the best!!
waiting for him 2020 Japan.
Wow i really love his coach
He just proved lane 8 isnt as big a disadvantage as track thinks.
Where's all my South-Africans at?!?!
A bit late, but here I am !!
Love this guy . I love sports, it’s my life
True champion Nice video
No human that has ever lived has run 400m faster than Wayde van Niekerk - Wow. Just WOW. The magnitude of that is astounding.
I just hope he comes back at *100%!*
thank you .. awsome
Small note I think its weird formatting to bring up the lane 8 difficulty so much but never take a second to state how he got it waht gavehim sucha "bad" qualifying race?
Why was he in lane 8 for the final ?
Relley Pinnock: Yes, I think that’s what is being asked.
He wasn't pushing himself to qualify, he was keeping his body fairly rested as he didn't need to run at 100% to qualify.
@@chris5240 I agree, he was chasing the WR
Very good video keep uploading
He is amazing 👏👏
Well you have to brave running from lane 8 and he exactly did that. Maybe this psychology of running from lane 8 added fuel to the fire. He was bold from the start and boy did he produce that miracle that night. Outstanding. Hope he betters his own WR or this might just go on for an epoch 😊👌
good video, Wayde is the GOAT I don't wait to see him back
Amazing I remember that race I was pretty excited about it.. My best in the 400 M was 49.70 sec at 18 years old and the 800 M at 1.54 .. Now forget about it 😂😂😂 Great video 👍
RVing MONTANEZ WAY my best was 70
damn 99.9K subs. 100K is literally a breath away
3:22 great of Leshawn to appreciate the talent
Excellent vid!
Van is a beast... mad respect
He’s just a beast
Great vid as usual. Please also consider that he ran 300m in 30.81s making him the only athlete to have run a sub 10s 100m, sub 20s 200m, sub 31s 300m and a sub 44s 400m (which will soon become a sub 43s!!!! At least that is the dream for us Saffa's)
PB's:
100 m: 9.94 (2017)
200 m: 19.84 (2017)
300 m: 30.81 WB (2017)
400 m: 43.03 WR (2016)
= #legend
Thanks for the great content. Keep it up.
Michael Johnson is the greatest 400 runner, in his prime in door/outdoor he rarely if ever lost. Ran more sub 44 400's outdoor, only person to run 42.9 on one of his 2 4x400 relay records!
M J but not the fastest
@@tonybarfridge4369 42.9 quarter mile, MJ only person ever to run that fast, numbers don't lie
@@mj3332 Off a,relay is different! So it doesn't count. ,its off of a running start. Nice try though. But you're Wrong.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 A relay is different but the fact is NO runner including Van has ever run sub 43 on a relay and as I said lane 8 was an advantage. MJ has run way more sub 44 open 400's than Van. MJ didn't lose a 400 race for 2 years, only thing Van has is that 43.03 where all he had to do from lane 8 is sprint the 1st 200 coast the 3rd curve and kick it home the final 100.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 MJ never ran from lane 8 because in order to do so you have to run a slow time to end up in lane 8. If he had he would have run a 42 second open 400 m
Salute to this beast.
Like how you research and give reference its mind blowing ...... he has to come back in form and be only one to destroy his own record
Success takes time and Dedication💪💪💪
This is just the begining, many people have talent in southern africa. They just need to be recognised.
Now, 5 years after his injuryn it seems like he's really back. In the last race of the season he run a seasons best of 44.33. I'm so freaking excited for next season. Will he break the 44 barrier again in his career? He is really a great man i would be really pleased for him. Fingers crossed!^^
I believe he may have been able to break the 200 WR with that combination of 100m speed and 400m endurance, at worst he was a potential 19.3 or 19.4 runner
Well in a way, he didn't have the potential to really improve his 200 m times since he got too much injured running the shorter distances. As stated in the video, it was the reason for him switching to 400 m instead of his former main event, the 200 m.
Theoretic potentials by doing calculations and interpolating the "possible times" are useless if a person can't spend the time to actually train for it.
Same thing with all the people claiming the Bolt would have beaten the 400 m record if "ONLY" he would have gone for it.
Well that only consists of enduring the extremely mentally taxing 400 m training. Something Bolt himself said he wasn't up to.
So, no, i don't think Van Niekirk would ever have gotten close to the world record for 200 m, due to having a body that easily broke down due to the specialised training for the shorter distances.
Maybe that body type with slender joints and muscles was ideal for the 400 m? Staying Light and explosive (and endure lactic acid) and still not getting injured...
Big fan of all your videos btw whats the sound track you used for part 5 @ 8:36
He's a machine
Sick just sick
We are waiting to see 2020
Is Wayde back on the track now. I hope he never touches a rugby ball ever again. Why did his manager allow him to play a charity 7's rugby match.
Fucking madness
@JK Rai I agree, but touch rugby was still not a good idea.
@@gtanz8475 agreed! 'Touch' rugby or not, it is still a lot more risky than taking a shower. JK Rai talks like rugby is some board game, like chess or checkers.
VERY TALENTED ATHELETE
My inspiration
This guy is a legend, 100m 200m 400m elite status
Greatness
Evan jager analyzing the greats
Great vid. Incidentally, his coach Tannie Ans, is pronounced 'Tunny Uns' (meaning Aunty Uns - it's a term of endearment)
On that stat chart at the end, Michael Johnson appeared to live in the low to mid 43 second range. He was on there at least 10 times compared to Wade's 3 times.
just imagine if he was running in this era,he would be living in the 42 range all across the board.To me Michael Johnson is still the GOAT!!!
Andrew ison consistency has no value in records
Andrew ison also niekerk was the only one to excel in all 3 distances
Im not to sure about 2015 but in 2016 Wayde was definitely not the favorite to win the 400m. He had a 47 second season opener and hadn't broken 44 seconds until that world record and ran very sparingly on the international circuit, running in Monaco, Rome, and Jamaica to name a few. If anything it was Lashawn that was favorite because of his showing over 200m of 19.74 and the fact that he was the first and only to go sub 44 with a 43.97 performance at the U.S championships. It also wasn't until some time after Wayde had admitted to a lower back injury that was causing serious issues the entire 2016 season which was the cause for lack of competing.
Amazing
i was hoping for an update on his status now, he's been out for a while now
he was running pretty smooth :0
Great of the greatest.......
Micheal Norman is about to shatter his record. 2020 Tokyo olympics where there’s actual competition for Norman, he’s going sub 43.
Y’all heard it here first
Not gonna happen...so much hype..
Nice
A lane 8 assignment also indicates that the runner did not finish high in the semi-finals of the event. This is why it is usually considered an upset if lane 8 wins. It is implied that he/she is not in as good a form as those in lanes 4 or 5.
Hey. The video you made was awesome but i would like to add a correction. The 100m he ran in 2016 was 9.98 seconds. In 2017 is when he ran 9.94 seconds.
Usain bolt still better
@@garryjfsolinap6660 When will humans stop comparing apples with oranges?
Check out Cheslin Kolbe...he plays for the Springboks rugby team. He's the cousin of Wayde van Niekerk.
I don’t think I would have ever picked out his coach in a line up
