Van Niekerk is on fire this season, having run personal bests in the 100m (9.94sec) and 200m (19.84) last month, and setting a new world best time of 30.81sec in the rarely-run 300m in Ostrava last week.
This young man keeps breaking records and I am excited each time I watch him take part in every race. He is definitely going to smash all these records and he is all the way from South Africa. We are very proud of him and he has our full support. I can't wait for the world championship next month.
