A tragedy that injuries robbed him of so many peak years. That record is astonishing.
WOW!!! I was wondering what happened to him.
@marvinhunt1049 Sadly he had a number of serious injuries. Otherwise I think he would've gone under 43 seconds
@@Fontsman-14 It all stemmed from that one injury, too - the knee at a charity rugby game.
@@jwt-nu3ei oh yes it was touch rugby ….
stop it!!! the guy was loaded!!!! no doubt about that!!! that's why he has got injured!!!! enhancers will push your body beyond the critical limit: you feel no pain. but the next season or so, all things are broken down. i know what im talking about. i was with russian athletics federation during those times!
I don't think people realize how crazy this is. He ran 100m in 10.75 seconds. FOUR consecutive times.
He ran under 10sec in 100m under 20 sec 200m and of course under 44 sec 400m.
@@billwilson4210 K
That stamina
@@dominicsalimani2516speed n stamina boiled hot together in a single pot
Quicker than the womens 100m finals haha most the time
Took off, took the lead, took the world record 👏🏾👏🏾
same with rudisha of 800, both of em are massive
The long jump and women’s 4x400 world records have stood far longer.
thanks captain pbvious
@@israelnwanne8401Hicham's world record stood longer. Still unbroken.
@@MarkoAssi_pokervloggerthat one i think can't be broken...was from another planet
He ran that record 400 meters taking only 167 paces in lane 8 , truly special and proudly South African. 🇿🇦
167 😮 amazing 🏅
Why are lanes 1 and 8 talked about like being in them is the end of the world?!?! Besides not getting the view of where your competitors are aren't they all the same in essence?
@@jesseribbey The lanes have a different radiuses around the bends that influences a runners tactic .Not so relevant for the 100m but more so for the 200m dash or say 400m hurdles . I'm not a pro so would like more insight.
@@jesseribbeyIdk about 8 but the sharp turn on 1 makes it harder to run at top speed
In lane 8 it's more of a straight line but you can't see anyone so you gotta go by feel and cadences.
And he did that from one of the worst lanes to be ran. Hats off to all that heart and determination.
The commentator for the 400m final in Paris was trying to say it was the best final ever. The absolute disrespect. Wayde broke the world record from the outside lane, put some respect on his name.
The French have never respected Africa. To them it's just a place to be plundered and pillage. Not surprised that they pretended as though the 2024 race was the ultimate.
Very true ,they were dissing all the athletes from Africa
@@santiedormehl3042 What pissed me off so much is that Jakob ingebrigtsen won the 5k, without Cheptegei or Kiplimo or Aregawi because they were too fatigued from 10k race. Suddenly Jakob is better than Cheptegei, his the best 5k runner of all time OF ALL TIME!!. Without the world record. The E.Africans are passed their prime. Jakob and his fans are also arrogant, there is a reason why all the greats were humble. I promise you he will not defend his title and he will be beaten by an East African.
@@melie-n2nJakob doesn't even train for the 5k.
@@melie-n2n excuses. Don’t step on the line if you’re tired.
It’ll be the record for at least 20 years I think. I like the Jamaican relay team reaction when they watched this. Bolt was shocked.
Yup, that record is untouchable for a very long time.
Maybe letsile tebogo might break it
GOAT of the 100 and 200 recognized the GOAT of the 400
@@Berniedjand the lesser raced 300.
Dude was running 10.75 each 100m. Thats literally sprinting each 100m all the way through. Unbelievable
As a South African I can confirm he's still a legend to this day.
As a Kenyan i Totally Agree With You
Don't need to be a south african to confirm tf
@@NgolaNalane He is only an attention seeker. Like all those who must point their nationality (totally irrelevant) in the comments.
As an Aussie I can confirm it also.
In my opinion the greatest South African track and field athlete of all time! If he was fit we would have had a chance to grab gold in the 1x400 relay this year.
South Africa 🇿🇦 ♥ ❤ 🙌 👏 💙 sets a new world record.
3rd world country, lol
@@Gws525 Cool.
Among the greatest moments in Olympic History.
Love this guy! Wayde's WR Gold at the Olympics is one of the greatest performances of all time in all of track. Happened on the biggest stage, and to the nicest guy ♥️
❤❤❤....simple humble guy ....a true Patriot .
He’s one of the most humblest athletes I have ever seen
One of the greatest races of our life time.
He didn’t have the career he wanted but that time and that race are Epic.
Which career he wanted ?
Charity match and that horrible injury @@thefisher2428
@@thefisher2428 to keep winning gold medals.. he got injured playing a match of rugby..
South Africa in the houseeee!!!!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Awee!!!!!!
To bring this into perspective for non runners.. every 100m he ran.. which by the way is 4 of them.. is faster than The time of Any woman's 100m sprint less than 10.8 sec 🙈 it is just insane.
Well, not really. His last 3 100s he has a running start to average those times. His top end speed is close ish to top end females in their respected 100s, but they are pulling away from him if they were given a jogging start to race the last 100.
So he can beat the best women's 4x100m relay team all by himself. Insane
@odiseven Not quite. The women's 4 x 100m record is 40.82 . The running start, as explained by @RicardoPowellardo, accounts for why.
@@EmmWhizzle After I wrote the comment, I googled it, but I couldn't find the post to change it. 😂 The other 3 women have running start. 🤦
Why compare to Women's race ? This is sexist.
Pride of a nation 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

He did it from the 8th lane. Amazing!
Dang already 8 years ago, I remember watching this live.
Awee Ma se kind Wayde mei broer you we did it as South Africans to the world because of you mei broer 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤Salute Jy
Our hero and he remains so humble ❤
South Africa 🇿🇦 home boy
What a run from lane 8 😳
Strategy = leg it as fast as you can from start to finish from the 8th Lane
2024 and this is still pure goosebumps moment
Ons klong jy maak ons Baie trots 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Legendary performance my brother congrats
That was an amazing race! So lucky to see it live as a kid
In a league of his own😤
Sout-Africa Still proud of you Wayde.Dont think your record will be broken
He was absolutely robbed of being one of the greatest runners to ever live because of injury
He was never the same since
I've never seen anyone with a more fluent running form during an entire 400m. Nobody can run as cleanly and efficiently as Wayde in this race
Notice how un muscular he is - lots of 1000m repeats this guy was an absolute beast
These rubber tracks have a lot to answer for
Chills. every.single.time.
I'm sure if it wasn't for the injuries he might have enjoyed lots more magical moments such as this one
Proud of Wayde van Niekerk. His injury robbed a little. He had no business getting involved in that rugby match. All the same, he is a true South African inspiration. Let's just do Paris Wayde and team, South Africa is behind you.
If he got injured playing contact rugby that'd be one of the dumbest decisions I've ever heard of from a high level athlete/sprinter, you can't even play Sunday league soccer coz they'll injure you
Eish Wayde, I believe he had the potential to break his own WR.
@@blaquenguni9249 Lol i think that's what happed. and it is the biggest regret in his life, even in interviews he does not want to talk about it. Usain Bolt said Wayde was going to take over after he retired. it's a shame he will never hit that 2016 peak again. I genuinely believe he could have broken his own record again...retirement seems inevitable after France but i could be wrong. people like to push themselves even when they are past their prime. He is still one of the best to ever do it!
@@blaquenguni9249 It was a freak accident during a celebrity touch rugby match. I think it was for charity.
@@blaquenguni9249 DUMBEST is an understatement. He was destined to greater achievements but wanting to satisfy publicity for a common commercial radio station put an end to it.
Imagine what would be the timing if he got middle lanes😮
Thrilled to see you on the track in 2024.
South Africa!!!!! Well done Wayde!!!!
If it wasn't for that injury he suffered in a rugby game, I believe Wade Van Niekerk would of stretched the World Record even further in my humble opinion...
I agree. He would've been the first to run a 42 second 400m.
Stellar performance
Wayne, thank you so much for making us proud 👏 🎉Congratulations 🎊 👏
wayde
Remember this moment like it was yesterday...
Goooooo all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
That first 200m was diabolical… geesh!
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Super proud of you 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Looks like speed runs in the family, his cousin Cheslin Kolbe (sprinbok player) has got some serious pace as well!
Absolutely love WvN!! ❤️
Greatest run ever. That injury 😮
Amazing after 8years you were still competing no injury could stop you."Godspeed" South African Legend
In the 400 is CRAZY
Congratulations team South Africa 🌍
Don't look inside, just run. What a nice guy to break Michaels too.
To eun and win in that fashion from the outmost lane is insane... ESPECIALLY in the 400m. You run the whole race with no way to gage where anyone else is.
Van Niekerk you have done us proud as SA. Well done bro ❤
Brilliant! I'm a proud South African.
That is the greatest moment of any track and field athlete in their entire life when you break a world record at the Olympics for most athletes that only happens once in their lifetime even though Wayne will never do that again and never reach that pinnacle again in his life because of circumstances he will always go down in history has one of the only athletes to break a world record at the Olympic games
Van Nikerk is a beast ❤
This is a 50 Year Record!
To do it from lane 8 is crazy
I was flabbergasted watching this race
That record will stay for more than 20yrs
I ran 200m in school for 38.56 😢
😂🫶🏼
Not even 25 seconds😂
Usain Bolt ran it in 19 seconds
Dude ran a great race. It was even more astonishing to win with a world record from lane 8 outside. He was running blind 3/4 of the race. I never saw him do much in the Olympics after that.
I was soooo hoping he could compete this year. Wish he hadn’t tore up his knee.
He has competed. It's not only about the medals. Still proud of our SA athlete!
From lane 8!!!
Amazing. People supporting their nation with their life, exceeding great feats to make their country victorious, this is the stuff I live to see. As a geography buff, seeing people make records for their country brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Always the best 👌 🎉❤
Overstride tbe last 40 meters. Worked for Wayde, Karsten and Quincy. Something about overstriding the last few meters of a quarter mile makes sense somehow.
A true phenomenon, wow!
To do this from lane 8 is insane.
He did that in the toughest lane too! 😮🙌
Such an awesome bloke
I hope it’s never beaten. He was a worthy champion. Sad his accident effected his long term running future 💜
A South African... What a blessed country we are indeed... Anyone who fails to see the opportunities and leverage we have over other countries and continues to cry foul is shortsighted... Year on and year on, we continue to take on world stages...
Still a warrior.. south africa
Who ran 400 m race they know how killer race is this. ♥️🇵🇰
And then he and his management decide that playing a game of rugby was a smart move. Smh. What a tragedy. Robbed him of a great career
Such a humble person
I don't know if this will ever will beaten. But for sure not the first 100 meters and not the last 100 meters. Nearly not human. My biggest respect
WE AFRIVNCAN CIUNTRIES SHOULD EMBRACE EACH OTHER WHEN ONE WIN DOESN'T MATTER WHERE WE FROM LIFT THAT FLAGS HIGH SUPPORT EACH OTHER
Tebogo can actually break this
If he chose to run the 400m
After that he vanished and back with very average performance. Sad
The only thing out of place with this whole piece of history is the horrific tracksuit and uniform we wore 😂
Who made Wade to go play touch rugby and the injure his knee. Bad manager
8 years later and still that bs rugby game rips our souls to pieces!!!
Van Niekerk!! Shine South Africa!!! 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
He looks so relaxed
Why not everyone's starting point should be same ?
Juiced to the gills, like all South African athletes.
They forgot to add bolt's reaction...
😅❤
Fantastic ❤❤❤
I remember watching this live and still amazed how he did that out of lane 8. Now when I think about it, it really was a Devine moment in sports history. It worked out best for him that day to run in lane 8.
Chills🥶🔥🇿🇦
Clean boy, clean record 😊
Goosebumps‼️
If Usain Bolt told you, you can break the 400m world record! Believe it! That was what he told Wayde, when he saw him on Jamaica 🇯🇲 😅😮😊❤
Even usian bolt was shocked🥶🥶
