1. 👍
2. Respect to both athletes goats
3. Wayde is the real deal like Alison Felix. Those who can compete in the 100/200/400/800 are true sprinters. True athletes. Bolt's body will collapse at competitive speed in 400/800. Too heavy. Too awkward. only he is famous for his stride length. he isn't a true athlete.
4. I'm proud to call myself South African
5. it's Bolt who wants to race with Wayne
6. "First track olympic medal in 96 years" Are you stupid... Its the first time SA has won gold in the 400m in 96 years... Semenya won silver in 2012 and our last gold in track was in 1996
7. Now, to enjoy the limelight my bra. And do it responsibly so.
8. Jamaica dominate 100 and 200 but 400 800 and 1500 are African dominated south Africa and Kenya and now we starting to have African sprinters akine  and others from cote diovoir
9. Registration

11. Wish bolt could have,raced him from his 2008 form
12. Nice one china
13. Wade van Niekerk was born prematurely at 29 weeks and weighed only 1 kg at birth - he has overcome immense odds in his life and we are extremely proud of our champ.
14. josiah thugwane, elana meyer etc, what 96yrs?
15. lekker man 👨 so bly dat hy gewen het
16. it sucks bolt doesn't do 400m even tho his coach said he's best on longer sprint.. like how bolt storming away even with the bad start in 100m final last time against gatlin.. the problem is bolt does not want to undergo the training for longer distance run.. :( He can be the best 400m with that crazy mid-sprint acceleration
17. made us all proud,well done boet!
18. 300m race, Bolt vs Van Nierkerk
