[Making of Champions @MakingOfChamps]

When you walk (or rather, RUN) the talk!!

Cote D'Ivoire's Cheickna Traore, had been upbeat before the 200m final that he would win, and he matched hype with action, beating Botswana's Phaezel Selepe to win the GOLD medal in a time of 20.32s.

Traore has had a championship that he will not forget for a long time.

The anchor leg for Cote D'Ivoire was absolutely flying, leaving both Ghana and Nigeria trailing him.

Everyone else felt the African title is between Ghana and Nigeria in the men's 4x100m, but Ivory had other ideas.
