LONDON: South Africa's Olympic 400 metres champion Wayde van Niekerk will make his long-awaited return to the track when he competes at the rescheduled Gala dei Castelli in Bellinzona, Switzerland on Tuesday .

Those plans were put on hold, but he will line up at the event in Bellinzona which had been postponed from May due to the global pandemic. He has therefore benefited from the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games to next year and recently highlighted his ambition to be the first man to run the 400-metres in under 43 seconds."Growth should be improving my times within the 42-second range. That’s where my mind is at, that’s where my heart is at," he told BBC Sport.
