In the cold weather, on a cold London night, Wayde Van Niekerk won his third global championships in three years. Running 43.98, Wayde Van Niekerk made the run look relaxed. Steven Gardiner, the Bahamanian with the huge stride, ran 44.41 for the silver. In the bronze, a very happy Abdelalelah Harroun ran 44.48.
The presser was pretty interesting. Wayde Van Niekerk showed his class here, making some very supportive comments on Mr. Makwala, before all of the nastiness began.
