Wayde van Niekerk wins 400m event at Diamond League in Oslo
South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk won the 400m event at the Diamond League event in Oslo on Thursday night, coming home in an impressive time of 44.38.
Van Niekerk beat Zambia's Muzala Samukonga, who finished in second place in 44.49, while Vernon Norwood of the USA was third, stopping the clock in 44.51 in what was a very close race.
While Van Niekerk's time wasn't his season's best (he ran 44.17 to win the SA national title in April), he continues to build his form towards the World Championships to be held in Oregon in August.
