Missed it yesterday. Will watch the semis and finals tomorrow for sure.

Love all canoeing/kayaking but the kayak cross is now in my top 5 favourite sports in the Olympics.

Amazing that Wayde van Niekerk record still stands 8 years later.

From what I understand he is running the 400m relay and not the 400m. Has his speed decreased that much that he is not a top 400 meter runner anymore?
 
Kicking off the 400m now...

It's a weird one, he came out of nowhere to take it.

Apart from him there are those 3 guys that is up there in the top list that are from 2007, 2019 and 2019...even so they're still 0.38 off his time.

It sounds like our committee decided he wasn't going to place in the medals in individual based on his performances this year, so instead they want to use him in the relay and try to get a medal.

Pillay finished 7th in his 400m heat. He has short legs so will never be a world beater.

He only ran 1 competitive 400m race this season so not conditioned for it.

He’s running the 200m
