    Wayde Van Niekerk is the current world record holder for the men's 400 meters. In 2016 at the Olympic Games in Rio, Van Niekerk ran a time of 43.03, breaking Michael Johnson's previous mark of 43.18 all the way back from 1999. Building up to this incredible race, Van Niekerk became the only athlete in history to:
    1) Run under 10 seconds for the 100 meters
    2) Run under 20 seconds for the 200 meters
    and
    3) Run under 44 seconds for the 400 meters
    Indeed, Van Niekerk had a spectacular set of sprinting skills that led him to this fantastic world record.
    In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at Van Niekerk's running career and we'll be dissecting exactly how he ran this historic world record.

    Exactly 3 years ago today (August 14, 2019), Van Niekerk ran this incredible 400 meter world record. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best track and field world records of all time. What do you all think?

    • @outsiders4951
      @outsiders4951 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Its about quality not quantity. A lot of that training would have been useless and only impede his recovery from the beneficial part of his program. The top athletes are often at the top due to awesome genetics and would prosper no matter what coach they had and can thrive off a great variety of training programs, even the wrong training programs, Usain Bolt being the most obvious example. More training doesn't mean better performance, there's a limit to what the body can recover from, pure and simple. If you go over the threshold of what you can recover from, you're only hurting yourself. This is reality not a fucking Rocky movie where hard work/inspiration wins. Being as close to reality and what best suits your body training wise is what will garner the best results.

    Im not to sure about 2015 but in 2016 Wayde was definitely not the favorite to win the 400m. He had a 47 second season opener and hadn't broken 44 seconds until that world record and ran very sparingly on the international circuit, running in Monaco, Rome, and Jamaica to name a few. If anything it was Lashawn that was favorite because of his showing over 200m of 19.74 and the fact that he was the first and only to go sub 44 with a 43.97 performance at the U.S championships. It also wasn't until some time after Wayde had admitted to a lower back injury that was causing serious issues the entire 2016 season which was the cause for lack of competing.

    Now, 5 years after his injuryn it seems like he's really back. In the last race of the season he run a seasons best of 44.33. I'm so freaking excited for next season. Will he break the 44 barrier again in his career? He is really a great man i would be really pleased for him. Fingers crossed!^^

    Michael Johnson is the greatest 400 runner, in his prime in door/outdoor he rarely if ever lost. Ran more sub 44 400's outdoor, only person to run 42.9 on one of his 2 4x400 relay records!

MJ has run way more sub 44 open 400's than Van. MJ didn't lose a 400 race for 2 years, only thing Van has is that 43.03 where all he had to do from lane 8 is sprint the 1st 200 coast the 3rd curve and kick it home the final 100.

    I believe he may have been able to break the 200 WR with that combination of 100m speed and 400m endurance, at worst he was a potential 19.3 or 19.4 runner

    • @Magnus_Loov

      Well in a way, he didn't have the potential to really improve his 200 m times since he got too much injured running the shorter distances. As stated in the video, it was the reason for him switching to 400 m instead of his former main event, the 200 m.
      Theoretic potentials by doing calculations and interpolating the "possible times" are useless if a person can't spend the time to actually train for it.
      Same thing with all the people claiming the Bolt would have beaten the 400 m record if "ONLY" he would have gone for it.
      Well that only consists of enduring the extremely mentally taxing 400 m training. Something Bolt himself said he wasn't up to.
      So, no, i don't think Van Niekirk would ever have gotten close to the world record for 200 m, due to having a body that easily broke down due to the specialised training for the shorter distances.
      Maybe that body type with slender joints and muscles was ideal for the 400 m? Staying Light and explosive (and endure lactic acid) and still not getting injured...

    A lane 8 assignment also indicates that the runner did not finish high in the semi-finals of the event. This is why it is usually considered an upset if lane 8 wins. It is implied that he/she is not in as good a form as those in lanes 4 or 5.
