Whether you woke up nice and early this morning or caught the news during brekkie, I’m sure by now you know all about Wayde van Niekerk’s incredible 400m world record feat.
The humble van Niekerk clinched Team South Africa’s first gold medal in a time of 43.03, smashing Michael Johnson’s 17-year-old record in the process.
First up here’s the race…
Crushed it, but here’s the video that really drives home just how insane that time is. Look at Bolt’s face when he sees that clock…

Team SA have already surpassed their best ever Olympics medal haul – here’s hoping Caster grabs gold and we land a few others as well.
