Wayde van Niekerk heads for victory in the 400m race at the Free State provincial championships in Bloemfontein. AFP/CHARL DEVENISHBLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa: Olympic and two-time former world 400m champion Wayde van Niekerk was praised by coach Ans Botha on Sunday after the latest victory in his comeback from a serious knee injury.
"Wayde stopped running about 20 metres from the line and was just jogging. He could have run a 45 race," the coach-cum-grandmother said. "You cannot push too hard in this weather and we dare not take any risks with the Olympics just five months away."Cape Town-born Van Niekerk withdrew from the national championships in Johannesburg last year because of chilly conditions.
He was hand timed at 10.20sec when winning a university 100m race on grass, then electronically clocked at 10.10sec and 20.31sec at a track meet.
