SNAPS: Wayde van Niekerk hangs out with #SaltBae in Monaco

Olympic gold medalist Wayde van Niekerk jetted off to Monaco for the Laureus World Sports Awards on Tuesday night, where he got to hang out with #SaltBae.

Of course Wayde flew the SA flag high among global sporting legends, who also attended the glitzy ceremony.

However, Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe who was also at the awards added some fun flavour to it.

And our guy couldn't leave without grabbing a picture with him. "We all need some spice in our lives," said about meeting Salt Bae.

And the chef who became a global internet sensation sure can clean up well too.
