Wayde Van Niekerk Has Done It 

Wayde's 400m Olympic gold was one of the most smooth and powerful displays of speed I have ever seen. He did not even look human. I hope he does it again.

He just ran 44.17 to with the South African championships! He’s back.

Go Wayde! For SA🇿🇦

Stud! Such a shame for sprint fans that we lost some of Wayde's best years.

He just clocked 44.17 a week ago while slowing down at the finish to celebrate. He is in sub 44 form at the moment. You will see something special this season!

People don't realize how hard the 400m is. You're pretty much running (4)10.7 100m dash, which is crazy fast! He's running 90% of his 100m Max Sprint for 1 lap!

As a South African I am so pleased to see you continuing to cover this great athlete.

You can’t help but like him, this is a story deserving a movie, so inspirational. He’s got the movie star looks, the heartbreak and years of struggle to the be triumphant again. Great stuff, love this guy.

One of my favourite track stars. Humble with true belief in his talent

So badly want Wayde to come back!! Such a smooth legend of a runner!! Proudly South African too ❤

What an inspirational video. Wayde is one of our Great South African Sons. We are so proud of him. Now more than ever

I love this guy and always cheering for him if he's running. Looking forward to seeing him fully back and continuing to impress us!

Ladies and gentlemen he's back!!! We love Wayde

The man just trotted across the finish line when he set that world record. Unbelievable.

I cannot wait to see what Wayde van Niekerk has in store for us in 2023

Running below 31 seconds in the 300 is insane in and of itself

Would be great if he can win some medals once again. In South Africa, we could do with a hero or two like Wayde.

He was my favorite track athlete then during his prime and I like him even more now. What an inspiration, I really hope he has a great season this year he deserves it. 👑

Love Wayde. The entire African continent loves you.

I am so pleased for him. Over the years I have been saddened so many times by athletics careers being cut short by accident, injury or illness, depriving the athletes of the opportunity to display their talents to the world and depriving the world of the opportunity to marvel at their talents. It's great to see Wayde on the way back.

id like to see him not only get the olympic gold but break his own world record doing it and go sub 43s for the first time ever, considering what he has done in just 3 yrs since that horrific (usually) career ending injury while playing football i can see him doing it, another great vid from TRP keep them coming as theyre much appreciated

The power of faith and hard work. I wish Wayde only the best, what a story it will be if gets on the podium again.

Please, please, please...I love this athlete so much. I think the entire world is rooting for him.

Wayde runs 44.17 season opener for 2023 at the South African athletics championships!!

He’s my favorite track field. Wish him good health and success ❤

Amazing watch. You are so good at this. Van Niekerk, one of the best and most underrated athletes I've seen.

Wayde is an absolute beast. I am happy that he is getting back to the top spot. My coach used to caution us about taking part in another other sports especially if it was contact sports. Lesson for all.

Nothing to stop him from "regaining" and 'reclaiming' world wide greatness. Thanks TRP. Let's see him do it again.

Cannot wait to see him again this season. He's coming back I don't doubt it

Shit !! Mental how this dude floats round the track.

Needs to go sub 44 before I consider him "back". At any rate, glad he's healthy enough to be competitive again.

I can totally respect this comeback, what an athlete and great accomplishment....I tore my ACL in a car accident and it felt like forever to get back to running speed. It took me 2 yrs because I tried to push it too quickly and thus setbacks. The stupid young so called invincible idiot I thought I was...it can still bother me during bad storms. I feel because of that stupidity...best of luck to Van Niekerk... 🏃🏆

Wade and his cousin Cheslin Kolbe are pure physical specimens and so humble. Respect to them and those who raised them 👌

I'm South African and would love to see him at the top again, but I think those injuries took away his best years. Hoping I'm proven wrong.

I love how your videos portray an array of athletes over many disciplines. The deep dives that you take to make these videos are truly Olympian. Thank you.

Great video as always. Inspiring stuff by Wayde, really rooting for him to get back on top and dominate the next 4 or 5 seasons!🏆

Ive said it before and ill say it again. I love your channel. The research you put in & your knowledge of athletes is, well can i say, nearly unprecedented. I am a avid fan of Wayde & am hoping and praying the best for him along with Genzebe and her now road racing career

Stepping back from favorites, all athletes at this level are to be respected and encouraged for their efforts, as they all have their own story. But... you have to feel for Van Niekerk, given the frivolous way in which he was catastrophically injured at the worst possible time, and the tenacity with which he has not given up, when you would have thought most would, and made these steady improvements. He must think about the circumstances of that injury over and over.... Yet, now, a major medal win must feel sooo within his grasp!

I truly love this guy. Such a good role model ❤

Wayde is a big Christian and a child of God. He believe in God to give him these remarkable achievements

Wishing him all the best hope he make it in world athletics championship

Love this guy. Hope he get back into top form.

Southern Africa is producing some impressive sprinters.

Man , you covered his story well. I’m South African and know very well of Wade , you actually raised his credit more than he is known in SA. He is Great Talent . We want to remember that in history too💪🏾

Great story, of a great young man. He is not done yet! So happy to see him back and returning to his former champion levels!

Kirani James was afflicted with Graves disease after his Olympic win. Talk about a come back

hes def breaking his record soon

I really hope he can get back to his previous best for the few remaing years he has left.... it's been a very long and tortuous journey for him mentally as well as physically, but he has shown great fortitude to continue pressing forwards towards the prize set before him🙏🏾

One of kind talent and dedication

The biggest HYPERBOLE channel on the internet LOL keep up the good work

Unreal

That 2016 world record was just breathtaking

I from Grenada and wayde is the best, I just love to see him run,no look back,😊I all luv James, but wayde I luv to see him run

good to see he's getting back into shape......hopefully he'll improve again this year

Hats off to him, I thought he was done when his injury happened. Now I’m thinking he’s realistically going to break his own WR. I just pray he’s clean and not going to be found in some doping scandal

🇿🇦Thank you ❤

You are really an artist making these videos

What an amazing video 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very nice!

he can do it i believe in him fr

amazing dude.

Mannn it breaks my heart yohan couldn't have had this blessing too

Straight Champion!

🏃for🥇

Goat sprinter

He is truly amazing. Especially when I dissect his style and analyze his lamented and synthetically smooth movements. If he could embolden his polynomial step ups I wouldn’t be surprised if he solidified his placement on the world stage and stuff! Thanks

It would be so cool to see him back in a big event and perform successfully.

can't wait for him to be back on the podium

Our national treasure ❤ 🇿🇦

the 'African Gazelle' is tearing up the plains once more, a sight to behold.

“When his mind is right”. So true

Yep! he the quiet GOAT. one day they will realize that his heart is physically bigger than normal.

Went to campus with him here in Bloemfontein im still annoyed he decided to play rugby when he knows how physical it is. Happy tp see him back tho no doubt

Wayde's comeback is amazing. But it doesn't change the overall story. That story is, and what will always remain, what might have been. That injury may well have robbed the world of something even more amazing than his 2016 Olympics performance. The problem is, we will just never know.

Mankind: We are fearfully and wonderfully made. The human body is just amazing to me. Amazing.

He showed a lot of promise making it back to the worlds final last year. Now with Norman running the 100m and Gardiner also coming back from injury (albeit not as career-altering), WVN has a real opportunity to get what’s his.

You’ve got to talk about Tyrone Gorze’s insane national record

I really adore him the way is keep growing . I believe it was not mention after his injured left south africa to find a new motivation with a new coach in USA. If im not wrong

The words "phenomenal, fantastic, and astounding " are applicable to Usain Bolt, Professor Edwin Moses, and Wayde Van Niekerk because of the facts that what they 've achieved and accomplished repeatedly in their respective events are track records that are truly "one of a kind."

400m was the hardest race to train for. I hated every second of it and transitioned to 100 and 200m. To suffer such a career ending injury and still make a "comeback" is nothing short of spectacular *applauds*.

This guy tore has ACL playing pick game of rugby........I mean.....he most likely would have run the 400 under 43 seconds had that not happened.....he may very well return to a super elite runner again, but I doubt he will break that 43 second barrier....I give Michael Norman more a chance these days to do it......but, let this be a warning of caution to runners out there...particularly world class elite ones.....I know being an athlete and having fun should not be limited, but.....when you make your living from running from point A to point B as fast you as you can possibly run....its probably not wise to partake in sports, even for fun, that require cutting and also physical contact by others.....otherwise, well, you are risking a potential setback like this.....anyway, I realize life happens and you could be in a car accident or something else catastrophic, but seriously, this injury was totally avoidable and actually rather tragic to happen to this guy sadly.....anyway....stay safe and stay well.

such a clickbait video like always. not saying the content is bad but...

His WR in the 400 is one of the 5 best records in Athletics, IMO....but not many 400 runners make a come back at age 31........hoping to see that "fluid drive" again this year

That's super impressive, and this guy is super smooth. But, what's really impressive is the WR time in the 400 hurdles by the man from Norway

Strength at velocity for duration Twas ever thus Thus shall it ever be

One of the greatest sprinters of all time. He could've quit after so many years trying to get IT back.

The title of this video is complete Clickbait which has been the theme lately. What he “has done” was in 2022. Unless you count his Instagram post about momentum.

He will do it.....watch

Weird to keep mentioning "his injury" without ever explaining what it was.

amen

LFG!! 🔥🔥

Mr Inspiring

Did they start adding something to the water in 2021? I have watched so many world records being set it is mind boggling. Just wow, between watching this sport and keeping up with bible prophecies being fulfilled there is never a dull day. God bless you all.

With a Chad face like Wayde there were no doubts

Van Niekierk was a phenomenal athlete in his prime. I hope this great athlete can get back to his brilliant best, but ,sadly, that is very highly unlikely.

Come on Wayne

I would love to see him, Fred Kerley and Michael Norman (when healthy) go head to head in a televised sprint classic where they compete in the 400, 200, and 100 meters. Who wins?

Wayde and Ali are top tier athletes which got robbed from seeing them in full prime

Greatest sprinter on the planet…… ever….fact
