Athletics sensation Wayde van Niekerk took time out of his hectic schedule to pay tribute to his wife, Chesney through a sweet social media post. 

The athlete, who is usually shy when it comes to his private life gave fans a glimpse into the way his wife makes him feel. 

"Sometimes you don't have to seek the world for inspiration. We are constantly surrounded by people who work hard and have beautiful stories. We just need to listen," Wayde started off my saying.

"I truly admire your ability to love. Your kind heart. Your ambition." 

Wayde and Chesney tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in October last year. Their wedding day was described as an occasion filled with "joy, laughter and love" by one of the guests.
