Nene powers into 400m final as favourites falter

Nene looked relaxed before and during the first semifinal, which he won in a fast time of 44:20, despite coasting over the final 100m. Lee Bhekempilo Eppie of Botswana finished in second in a time of 44.51.

Pillay, the reigning World University Games champion, could only manage sixth place in the second semifinal in a time of 44.82. Young Collen Kebinatshipi of Botswana was the surprise winner in a remarkable time of 43.61while pre-championship favourite Jaccori Patterson of the US faded badly to finish fourth, and only advanced on time. The 21-year-old eclipsed Nene’s previous world lead of 43.76.
