I am impressed with the training De Grasse and his coaching staff have done to get him ready for the Olympics. It seems like they really have him peaking at the right time.

What a 400m run. Just blew Johnsons record out of the water. Doping tests just doubled.

Never seen someone win a 200/400 from the outside lane. New WR in the 400 for the RSA.

Significant because that wipes away that arrogant Michael Johnson's record (the one that raced Bailey at Skydome at 150m after saying that 200m winner is the world's fastest man, and pulled up after 70m).

His kick at the last 100m was amazing. To win and set a record while in lane 8 in the 400. Wow!

Amazing run in the 400... Wow, that's hard to even fathom. Did the first 300 in 31 seconds

That last kick where he pulled away was crazy.

Not a great day for Canada overall today. Hopefully that changes in the next few minutes.

That is unbelievable considering that sub 10 for the 100m sprinters is impressive.

Does Van Niekirk race the 200 too? They were saying he had excellent times in it: could set up a crazy race with Bolt.

Very exciting to see someone beat Johnson's record finally. That's a ridiculous time.

It really annoys my wife to call him Andre Degrasse Tyson. I think I will keep doing that...
