South Africa’s Wayde van Niekerk is the new world record holder in the 400m run after a record breaking perfomance at the Rio Olympic Games.
He won the Olympic crown in 43.03sec in a dominating gold medal performance at the Rio Olympic Games.
With this astounding feat, Van Niekerk managed to chop 15 hundredths of a second off the 400m record set by Michael Johnson in 1999.
Van Niekerk said after the race: “I would love to give you a long story but I’ve already said, “God is great. I let everything in his hands tonight. I need to see the race to believe it. I can’t even tell you what happened in the race. I was blind all the way.”
