01:52young men in this field could prove to be just as good this is a very very special men's 400
01:58hurdles final
02:10we start one of the most eagerly anticipated finals of a fabulous five days Goto has started
02:18really quickly he's now second from the left hand side he's gone past Terrell Rada starts to make his move
02:26he's got the dyed blonde hair and he's closing the gap he's up on warm and this is the first
02:32time the
02:32American hasn't blasted it from the front watch for Ndowu coming through on the inside
02:39Rada's got the lead Ndowu on his inside Goto on his outside Rada's one of the greatest youngsters
02:45I've ever had the privilege of watching and he's got a commanding lead here the silver medalist from two
02:51years ago one barrier to go driving for the line remember the name Michael Rada he's such a special
02:59talent and he's just delivered in magnificent style 48 59 the runner-up from two years ago
03:07tastes gold here in Eugene and he's beaten Goto one of the fastest we have ever seen at this age
03:15he came he saw and he conquered the Japanese great all three medalists inside 50 seconds
03:24Goto looks stunned because Rada ran the race of his life brilliant win for the young Czechia athlete
03:32what a star he's going to be he's won by margin Rob he's won by 0.64 of a second
03:39he's won by a margin
03:41he's so well balanced Rosie he runs both technically but also strategically so well
03:47he was always in the right position Goto actually went out a bit harder than he did in the semi
03:51-final
03:52and he looked as if he had a winning chance at halfway but Rada's bend was superior
03:58Ndowu is so powerful early he threw himself over the line to hold off Warmey but in what promised to
04:04be a great final it turned out to be a singly great performance by one man
04:08it absolutely was he went out really hard he was so strong Rada the whole way round he got himself
04:14into a great position and he just stayed there he held it that was so so impressive to watch
04:21there is so much that reminds me of Karsten Varholm in this young man
04:27twice a national indoor heptathlon champion and we know Varholm started in the octathlon
04:33as a youth we've just seen someone very very very special deliver a magnificent performance
04:40against a brilliant field Goto is one of the best we've ever seen at this age and he was made
04:46to look
04:47good rather than brilliant and he's got very close to a storied world under 20 record or championship
04:53record I should say with a very very special runner in Clermont back in 2004 it was very close to
05:00that it was a
05:01personal best today you do have a bromance going that's for sure Rob with this fella but
05:06how can we blame you for that he is brilliant to watch the Japanese runner was superb and look at
05:14this
05:14it's near perfection it's hurting it has to be hurting when you've never run this fast before
05:21but it's a big margin Rosie it's a big margin over two or three other great young athletes
05:28one to remember right absolutely absolutely and he will remember that race for the rest of his life in the
05:35confidence
05:35you
05:35you
05:35you
