Steven Gardiner stormed around the track to an incredible indoor 300m World Best of 31.56, erasing Noah Lyles's 31.87 World best set in altitude in Albuquerque in 2017 at the South Carolina Invite, Columbia on Friday night.
Two weeks ago, Gardiner set a new Bahamian record of 32.06 to win the men’s 300m dash smashing his national record from two years ago by 0.20 seconds.
Gardiner's new World Indoor best of 31.56 is considerably faster than the 400m Wolrd record holder Wayde van Niekerk's outdoor 300m World Best mark of 30.81 seconds set in Ostrava in 2017.
