Olympic champion Wayde van Niekerk will make his long-awaited return to the track at 8.10pm tonight, following a frustrating 2020.
The 400m world record holder will participate in the Gala dei Castelli event in Bellinzona, Switzerland, for his first race since the coronavirus brought an abrupt halt to the athletics scene earlier this year.
The 28-year-old was set to hit the track in Italy on August 1 in the 100m and 400m, but was withdrawn at the last moment as a precautionary measure following a false positive test for coronavirus.
