#RacersGrandPrix: Wayde Van Niekerk blazes to new world leading time in 200m
KINGSTON, Jamaica — South African Wayde Van Niekerk a short while ago clocked a new world leading mark and meet record of 19.84 seconds at the second JN Racers Grand Prix currently ongoing at the National Stadium.
Van Neikerk , the current 400m Olympic champion and world record holder, proved too strong for rivals and won emphatically in a positive 1.2 metres per second wind speed.
He bettered the previous world lead of 19.85, as well as the previous meet record of 19.88 seconds set last year by Miguel Francis. Sherdon Cowan
