00:53wade van neekerk golds in 2017 and 2015 takiti nene has been in great form this year could he back up
01:04those titles from his nation
01:06the men's 400 meter final is away dream richard shikori patterson perhaps the athletes with the
01:17most decorated cvs find themselves on the inside it's a lightning quick shot start from kevin a
01:22chippy of botswana in the middle of your screens with the arm sleeve on kevin a chippy eating up
01:27the ground on mcdonald but nene is absolutely flying through the first half here the south african
01:32perhaps trying to hold off kevin a chippy here the graphic gives it to kevin a chippy and patterson

01:44kevin a chippy to the floor dream richards driving in lane two kevin a chippy can he turn it into a gold medal for botswana

02:22what a wonderful wonderful raise from kevin a chippy he had everybody lined up outside of him he chipped away
02:30but jareem richards from lane two that was obscene to me yes it certainly was we expected to see botswana

02:50him and he came through they kept the south african out of the race he will not get on the stand but
02:57keeping this she not a surprise a very good run and we'll have two botswana on the stand tonight
03:09the botswana was brilliant in the gold medal there but if we look at jareem richards we love

03:20from lane two it's very hard the only good thing sometimes is that you have everybody in front of you
03:27and you have the ability to see how they're progressing and go after them 100 but do you
03:34really want that type of speed all the way in front of you most of the competitors with the better times
