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.
His 400 and the 800 WR of David Rudisha are my favourite performances in track (or were, before the 400 hurdles records became child’s play).
David Rudisha's performance was visually stunning. It looked beautiful!
@@Deelight664 completely agree. David's best was art in motion. Like Wayde. A few people manage to almost take flight on their feet.
The fact that he subbed 44, 20, and 10 is massive.
If it looks unreal , it is because it is. From no where to 43s.... To vanish later.
Stud! Such a shame for sprint fans that we lost some of Wayde's best years.
Agreed. He's one of my all-time favs and you're absolutely right, we lost at least 2 solid seasons of his Dominance.
He's certainly not the only Elite guy to lose crucial Prime years to injury..... I think of Bromell and Degrasse specifically, both losing prime YEARS to injury and both making Full comebacks too.
( even though many counted both out after being gone for a couple seasons. They definitely had the last laugh there..)
I think for Wayde, this is HIS season for a full return to his best self comeback. He's not getting any younger and the time is NOW if he wants to make the Podium again. I'd never count out that guy.... when he's at his best, he's nearly untouchable.
Can't wait....
@@willstuart4504and Blake
@@razor_ramon_ Yes!! Blake too.🇯🇲👍
@@willstuart4504 De Grasse was the luckiest of the athletes mentioned. He lost about a year to a year and a half of his prime years.
His 2017 injury that ruled him out of London and resulted in a mediocre 2018 season wasn't so bad that he couldn't come back and medal in 2019. It's great that he also managed to finally win Gold and pr twice in the 100m and 200m.
Who knows maybe the comeback will only add to the mysticism... I still think he's somewhat underappreciated, perhaps cos he's not from the UK, USA or Jamaica.
Go Wayde! For SA🇿🇦
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!
One of my favourite track stars. Humble with true belief in his talent
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.
What are the attributes of movie star looks?
@@denisitele they're just saying they think Wayde is good looking
Been watching Wayde here in South Africa 🇿🇦 since his high school days. He always was something special. Tremendous determination. If anyone can come back from such a serious injury, he is the one. Roy b, Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦
@@roybean7166And if last weekend's performance is anything to go by, he looks like he is definitely back.
@@denisitele not sure but I know it when I see it
As a South African I am so pleased to see you continuing to cover this great athlete.
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!
He just ran 44.17 to with the South African championships! He’s back.
What's even just as exciting is he has the former junior champion nipping at his heels. Very promising for SA athletics.
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!
31 March, first day of two day south african athletic champs. Wayde running, will be the first time this season. He says he feels good. Roy b Cape town, south 🇿🇦 africa
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
Ladies and gentlemen he's back!!! We love 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. 👑
The man just trotted across the finish line when he set that world record. Unbelievable.
Running below 31 seconds in the 300 is insane in and of itself
Only two other people have done it and they are all time legends in the sport, Usain Bolt and Michael Johnson. That puts him in great company on that achievement
Would be great if he can win some medals once again. In South Africa, we could do with a hero or two like Wayde.
I cannot wait to see what Wayde van Niekerk has in store for us in 2023
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
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.
So MARVELOUSandWONDERFUL makes our HEARTS VERY GLAD
Please, please, please...I love this athlete so much. I think the entire world is rooting for him.
Love Wayde. The entire African continent loves you.
Needs to go sub 44 before I consider him "back". At any rate, glad he's healthy enough to be competitive again.
Agree. Don't claim he's fully back to that level when he ran the damn wr and now isn't close to that. I support his comeback journey just not the clickbait level
I agree. I consider saying athlete is "back" if they run one of their top 5 fastest times ever. However in this case since Wayde's 5th best is a 43.96. I think 43.5-43.7 is what he'd have to run for us to say "His back"
I used to love this guys channel. But now most of his videos have click bait titles and no new information. Like this one. "Wade has done it?" He hasn't done anything since last September. I am a huge fan of WVN and hope to see him continue to climb his way back to the top. But until he posts a sub 44, he is not back to his old self. That being said, he could be on a world podium and even win with a low 44. The 400M doesn't have anyone consistently in the sub 44 range anymore. Norman and Gardiner can do it when in shape, but both are not in top form anymore.
@@SoughHis performance at the South African championship on 2 April this year should put an end to your skepticism.
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.
Amazing watch. You are so good at this.
Van Niekerk, one of the best and most underrated athletes I've seen.
He’s my favorite track field. Wish him good health and success ❤
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.
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.
Hope so. Roy b, Cape Town, ZA.
Wayde kan 🇿🇦✝️❤
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
Wayde runs 44.17 season opener for 2023 at the South African athletics championships!!
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... 🏃🏆
Stregth to you brother
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!🏆
Shit !! Mental how this dude floats round the track.
Wade and his cousin Cheslin Kolbe are pure physical specimens and so humble.
Respect to them and those who raised them 👌
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!
hes def breaking his record soon
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
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.
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💪🏾
I truly love this guy. Such a good role model ❤
Love this guy. Hope he get back into top form.
The biggest HYPERBOLE channel on the internet LOL keep up the good work
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
You will never find him doping
Kirani James was afflicted with Graves disease after his Olympic win. Talk about a come back
Wishing him all the best hope he make it in world athletics championship
That 2016 world record was just breathtaking
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🙏🏾
Wayde is a big Christian and a child of God. He believe in God to give him these remarkable achievements
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!
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
One of kind talent and dedication
Southern Africa is producing some impressive sprinters.
he can do it i believe in him fr
Mannn it breaks my heart yohan couldn't have had this blessing too
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
Unreal
Mankind: We are fearfully and wonderfully made. The human body is just amazing to me. Amazing.
good to see he's getting back into shape......hopefully he'll improve again this year
🇿🇦Thank you ❤
You’ve got to talk about Tyrone Gorze’s insane national record
the 'African Gazelle' is tearing up the plains once more, a sight to behold.
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."
Goat sprinter
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*.
Yep! he the quiet GOAT. one day they will realize that his heart is physically bigger than normal.
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.
Yes because the athletes who'd be his main competition are either injured (Steven Gardiner), competing in other sprint events (Michael Norman and Fred Kerley) or serving a suspension (Terrance Ross)
You are really an artist making these videos
🏃for🥇
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
can't wait for him to be back on the podium
Straight Champion!
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.
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
Don't know about the comeback but the world record that he broke in 2016 was set by a 31 year old Michael Johnson. Just something to think about
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.
could not agree more
@@karelvanderwalt3625 Thanx. and it always surprises me when I read about things like this.....and all I can say is sometimes when these athletes are on the top of the world they get a feeling of being invincible....BIG mistake imho.....but easy to succumb to though.......anyway, I wish Van Niekerk all the best and perhaps there is another Gold medal in his future.....
He played touch rugby with some comedians, so there was very little physical contact. It really was a freak accident. Sure, looking back he shouldn't have played but that is with benefit of hindsight. No one expects to get injured during touch rugby.
@@stefdutoit8267 well, thats my point, it might seem like there is no risk to it, but....there goes your stellar career.....don't get me wrong, he will still have a reasonable career, but it won't be stellar....however, to be fair and to your point, we all can't live in our fears of getting injured........but again, depends what you have to lose....he LOST a lot due to this sadly......
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
That’s separate vid and other athlete bud.
@@ronnieyoung2075 Ya think? Duh, I know that and I was saying this was impressive, but even more was that other guy running the hurdles because I do believe that's the hardest event in all of track or even sports in general.
Of course I know it's a different video, I am talking about impressive running not just one particular video. That guy in second in the hurdle video is also really impressive and he's been pushed by the Viking
@@bradtaylor4765 this video is not about Warholm tho. You should go compliment him on the video about him. “Ya think, duh?” As if it was common sense yet ur still here.
@@ronnieyoung2075 Wow, dense much? I said that already and I complemented both the guy in this video and the Norwegian and his runner up. How is this hard for you to understand?
I have little patience for people that don't comprehend simple concepts
@@ronnieyoung2075 So, you're the TH-cam comment police now? I have to comment on the incredible Warholm somewhere else and not here, also?
Sorry to be rude before, but your comment made me a little ticked at being told what to do. I had a mom and a dad before they left this earth and hopefully go to heaven and I don't prefer my wife telling me what to do, either. It's just a thing I have, little patience with others.
This 400 guy is incredible and his times are mind blowing and all I am saying is yes, and look at Warholm the Norwegian in the hurdles, now that is beyond incredible if you follow the sport
“When his mind is right”. So true
amazing dude.
Our national treasure ❤ 🇿🇦
such a clickbait video like always. not saying the content is bad but...
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
One of the greatest sprinters of all time. He could've quit after so many years trying to get IT back.
It would be so cool to see him back in a big event and perform successfully.
Weird to keep mentioning "his injury" without ever explaining what it was.
Tore his ACL on his right leg
Torn ACL and meniscus
Surely if you're a track fan, you know what his injury was ? Roy b, Cape Town, south africa.
It happened during a Touch Rugby match here in south Africa 🇿🇦 Acl
@Ferdinand Van zyl HI Ferdinand , how you keeping ? Roy b, Cape 🇿🇦 Town. ZA.
gg
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.
The man is back
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.
I put my money on Wayde to go sub 44s this season can't wait!
With a Chad face like Wayde there were no doubts
What an amazing video 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very nice!
He will do it.....watch
Really rooting for Wade, and I would love him to be successful again in major comps. However, at the age of 31, I beleive his WR 400 time is out of reach even for him. When he ran it, he was at the optimum age and was super fit. I believe he will run between 43 and 44 again, but I think that Rio performance will turn out to have been his finest hour. Will Gardiner or Norman ( poss Femke Bol :)) break it? I think it's just about possible for Norman, but he would have to do it in the right race with the performance of a lifetime.
LFG!! 🔥🔥
Fred Kerley has entered the chat & is here to stay 👏
Greatest sprinter on the planet…… ever….fact
Mr Inspiring
Wayde and Ali are top tier athletes which got robbed from seeing them in full prime
Good story but the title makes this annoying click bait
My favorite male athelete...did so much in such a small time
0:41 that’s the most aesthetic positioning I’ve ever seen
