Coach Chilume Ntshwarang says he told Collen Kebinatshipi to avoid complacency and maintain what he has been doing

Under the lights of the mighty King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, during the men’s 400m Wanda Diamond League final, sat Chilume Ntshwarang, the man who has shaped Busang Collen Kebinatshipi to stardom.

Today, the 22-year-old is threatening the 400m World Record of 43.03s that was set by Wayde Van Niekerk at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Kebinatshipi dominated the 400m race, blasting all the way to break the Diamond League Record (DLR) for the third time this season.

In the process, he set a new Meeting Record (MR) and a National Record (NR), stopping the clock at 43.40s.
