Van Niekerk had a couple of low-key track races in Bloemfontein in February‚ but said afterwards he would show he was back from his lengthy knee injury only at his proper comeback.
The world championships in Doha are happening late in the season — much later than usual‚ from late September into October — and there’s still plenty of time for the Olympic and two-time world champion to find his racing legs. There are five Diamond League meets between his arrival in Europe and the end of June‚ but only two offer men’s 400m races — Stockholm on May 30 and Prefontaine in the US on June 30.
