The 400m World Champion, Busang 'Collen' Kebinatshipi, is not in a hurry to break the World Record (WR).

The World Record of 43.03 seconds was set by South African, Wayde van Niekerk, in 2016 at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Van Niekerk was 24 years old when he broke the then-17-year-old record that was set by Michael Johnson. Kebinatshipi’s coach, Chilume ‘Chippa’ Ntshwarang, told MmegiSport that there is no World Record plan at the moment.

He explained that they want to focus on coming back in a better condition and then work on consistency. When asked about defending the World title, he said it is always tough to defend a title.
