First reactions from the legend himself. Four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson on BBC One on South Africa's Wayde Van Niekerk breaking his world in the 400 metres:
"Oh my God! From lane eight, a world record. He took it out so quick. I have never seen anything from 200 to 400 like that.
He may well have run faster in the second 200, than in the first. Well done to this youngster. A world record. That was a massacre from Wayde van Niekerk. He just put those guys away. LaShawn Merritt was shaking his head, thinking 'I can't do anything with that'.
Van Niekerk is so young, what else can he do? Can he go under 43 seconds? It is something I thought I could do, but never did. Usain Bolt will be retiring soon, this could be the next star of the sport."
