Van Niekerk finds form
Print Edition
South Africa’s Olympic 400 meters champion Wayde van Niekerk stepped up his return from long-term injury with a victory over 200 meters at the ASA Athletix Invitational on Tuesday. Van Niekerk has barely competed since being injured in a charity touch rugby game in October 2017 but declared himself fully fit after winning in a time of 20.10 seconds, albeit with a +2.1 meters per second tailwind on a wet night on the Highveld. “This definitely gave me confidence I didn’t have before,” he said in an Athletics South Africa press release after clocking a season’s best time. Van Niekerk smashed Michael Johnson’s 400 world record at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics to claim gold in 43.03.
