Prime Michael Johnson would run sub 40 on this track.

He was still accelerating in the last 50 meters. Lawshawn Merritt was just shaking his head in disbelief after the race.
I'm waiting for the crying Johnson memes

Merritt is probably thinking he needs to get in touch with Van Niekerk's chemist.
You get what you get wrote:
Is he running the 200?
He should, he'd give the usual suspects something to think about. Definitely better than 19.9 at this moment.
Bolt's reaction to WVN's WR win was interesting - did you see him on NBC coverage walking from the warm up zone into the stadium and then clasping his face with shock when he saw the 400 race result?
granny doping her cupcakes?

The track surfaces have been greatly improved since the 90's. MJ's performance was much better
Cedenio 44.01 and no medal. That is a head-spinner unto itself.
Michael Johnson goes home devastated.

a record is a record... now let's see how Van Niekirk deals with the drug accusations, if there's any. Time to check twitter...

Insane, the guys last 50m was amazing
Ran scared from lane 8, then form didn't deviate AT ALL. Great form maintenance!
So far ahead of the rest of the field too...where did this guy come from? As in like what had he done before Worlds last year?
Good build for the 800. He should move up.

I think he came in third or fourth in the 200 in world juniors a couple years back.
Michael was commentating on the BBC, he seemed surprisingly happy at the record. Guessing he is probably crying inside though lol

Keeping it professional. Are people going to question the new 400m record like they did with the 10000m?

Agreed. Neither was a clean performance.
I thought tracks were either fast for sprints (hard) or fast for distances (softer).
